Could be some Copyright and Liability issues involved there.


However, if he could make some in Burgess wrappers . . . .







It's been more than 40 years since i've bought a Burgess battery !

Nice ideas--but a 752 is an AB battery pack designed for a Zenith Trans Oceanic portable radio.

If you're wanting vintage looking D's or C's, you need vintage 950's and 935's.

I noticed someone scared up my old Eveready 950 and Burgess scans. I've since improved them with designs like these:

Not a bad beam for 50+ year old batteries wouldn't you say???? Impress your
friends how these old batteries are still powering your light, they'll be amazed!! My old Ranger is loving the old bats!!

Nice looking Ranger!

Gosh, you guys are making me feel old. I vaguely remember the old high voltage "B" batteries in various sizes and voltages wrapped with paper/cardboard labels.

I clearly remember "A" filament batteries in the 60's. Dry cell, 1.5 volts, about the size of two beer cans stacked one on top of each other. I remember using them to start fuel-powered model airplanes. On strings, none of this fancy radio controlled stuff.

We supplied the Navy with quite a few Big "B" batteries during Gulf War 1 for back up radios ... good ol tube radios keep on keepin on !!

Thanks for the web link ... they might have artwork we don't have ....

Vintage Battery Labels

Hello I just joined this site. Forgive me if I'm posting in the wrong forum. I'm looking for someone that might have a late 30's or early 40's scan of a 6 volt lantern battery label. I need it to cover a latern battery for a prewar schwinn bicycle. I found D cell scans and they work great for my other bikes. At the bottom it says I may not post images or I would have attached the 1938 D cell eveready scan for everyone's use.

Thanks

 

[Prewar Schwinn]

Hello I'm brand new to the forum. I have D cell eveready scans dated 1938 if anyone would like them. I'm looking for a 6 volt lantern battery scan from the mid 30's to mid 40's. The D cell battery scans work perfect for my 36 and 37 prewar schwinn battery trays. I have a 1940 Schwinn bicycle that takes the 6 volt latern battery hence the need for a 6 volt lantern battery vintage scan. Please post or e-mail if you can help. I think I'm too new to post images. My e-mail is [email protected] if anyone wants a copy of the 38 D cell eveready scan I have please e-mail. Thanks

Re: Vintage Battery Labels

Welcome.

You might get a better answer in the Flashlight Collecting forum. Scroll down a bit more on the index.

The easy way to show a photo is to put it elsewhere, and put the link here.

Re: Vintage Battery Labels

Thats a neat idea. I wonder if the Ray-O-Vac wrapper found here would work if you printed 2 of them? Perhaps some scaling would be in order, but should be do-able.

Here are the rest of them, for those who don't want to google

Ditto that-you needed something big to get those glowplugs glowing! I remember no longer being able to buy those beer can batteries at the "Pic-n-Save"! I had a P-51 and a front engine dragster on string-you might get dizzy if you put enough fuel in them or your string got broken and was way too short-LOL

Thanks for the link I will try that forum as well. I wish I could attach the scan I have but I'm too new and my image source will not allow me to attach .pdf files. If someone is interested I could e-mail them the scan I have if they know how to convert them to .jpg or other.

Thank you
