Old time Battery labels

Re: Vintage Battery Labels

ronkar thanks for the advice I appreciate it.

VegasF6 I think it would work but I'm a stickler for correctness. That scan is for a dry cell and I need a vintage 6 volt lantern battery scan.

If either of you know how to convert a .pdf to a .jpg I can e-mail you the D cell eveready 1938 scan so it can be posted for others to use.

Thanks

Re: Vintage Battery Labels

Have not tried this, but it looks as if it should work.

Conversion of pdf to jpg format:

Let us know how it looks.

Re: Vintage Battery Labels

And here's the Eveready 1938 Prewar D Cell Label (with spelling error) @ 1200dpi in simple baseline optimized JPEG! Rightclick and 'save as' to download, if anyone would like any other format/quality or a vector drawing of any kind just shout!
:wave:

[edit] And here you can find the second version with the spelling error corrected![/edit]

Well, not exactly Awesome . . . .


Appears to be a rather obvious TYPO error on that vintage 1938 label.


(tsk tsk)

:shakehead___


Somebody went to a LOT of work and effort on that label,
but, sadly, they neglected to Proof-read it.




Hopefully, a corrected version 2.0 will eventually be released.


BTW, am i the first person who SPOTTED the typo ? ? ?

Perhaps an exsessive use of artistic lisense?

Re: Vintage Battery Labels

BTW, am i the first person who SPOTTED the typo ? ?

I was still stuck back on Trade Mark being 2 words, instead of one.
(and i live 40 miles from there)

But that is the way they did it.

Re: Vintage Battery Labels

You guys mean San Fransisco? That should be San Francisco right?

Incredible how all of you are clever enough to find the typo but none of you actually took the time to fix it....

Gimme 2 minutes,ill do it.

Does anyone have or know where I could get some UK British Battery labels 1900-1945 period.
The single cell (D) and the double linked battery with brass front tag, used in cycle lamps.

I do this to as it keeps my lamps original, its never a good idea to laminate, always use clear fablon as then you can wrap the covers around the batterys easy. You can do this with those flat shape four half volt cells to. Take care removing the lables as not to tear them a sharp scalpel is good for this purpose, its well worth the effort as it keeps your lamps original.

Re: Vintage Battery Labels

Hi. New guy here. I've never done a forum before, so this may not compute.
Burgess batteries have always interested me. I have been looking for Burgess label scans that I coild download to construct replica batteries. I downloaded some a few years ago and made some #6 dry cell and 45V replica batteries. I have since lost the artwork. Is there anyone who is still posting actual size scans of Burgess batteries?

Any graphics available to make replica 4.5 Volt batteries?

First post here...

Has anyone here recreated the lables on early three cell (4.5 Volt) batteries like the Eveready Tungsten 705 or Burgess 232? They were used in a few portable radios of the early to mid 1920's. The most common being the RCA Radiola II (2).

I just acquired a Cyclone brand 3 cell battery and will make the lable graphic available for download to anyone that wants it when I'm done.
The battery is dated 1925.

Thanks,
Robert in NC

Wish I could help . . . .


Good Luck in your searching.

Please let us know what you come up with.


It was my old childhood memories ( Just turned 61 ),

which inspired me to choose my CPF user name of Burgess !


As a tribute to this American battery manufacturer of days past . . . .

Here are a couple of Burgess scans made full size... Sorry I have not yet had time to refine these images...

Just yesterday I completed my round battery scanner. I've built a web page for it.

http://kd4hsh.homestead.com/Rnd-Bat-Scan-00.html

So if you have any rare batteries you want scanned, I can do it for you at very low risk to your artifact. It will only cost you the shipping both ways. You will get non-exclusive raw scans that you can use for any reason. If I choose to make corrected images, I will make them available to you.



Please keep in mind that I am especially looking for the 4.5 Volt round batteries used in the RCA Radiola II. The RCA Red Book recommends Eveready 'Tungsten' #705 or Burgess # 232.
