VINTAGE "EVEREADY COLUMBIA GRAY LABEL LONG LIFE TELEPHONE CELL"
This is a wonderful piece of telephone history I purchased at an estate sale. It is a vintage dry cell battery that would have powered one of the old style telephones. This is the sort of thing that was used back in great grandpa's day. You can still find many of the old style phones around, but you hardly ever see these batteries that once powered them. This is a large battery, measuring 6 3/4 inches tall and 2 5/8 inches wide. I love the old style printing and graphics. The outer cardboard layer has a little wear and discoloration. The exterior has some warping. It was probably exposed to freezing temperatures at some time in the past. I'm sure this old battery is no longer capable of holding a charge. Both battery terminals are on top. Overall, this is a great looking old piece. Perfect for display. You certainly don't see these too often. Don't miss out. Bid now!

TIP: Don't Get Outbid At The Last Moment or Miss Your Opportunity to Bid:
A lot of bidders are disappointed at losing in the last second. They've been "sniped" by other bidders. You can prevent this by entering your Maximum Bid (highest amount you're willing to pay) when you place your bid. Then, if someone places a higher bid, yours rises just enough to cover theirs (up to your maximum). This gets you the best possible price, and reduces the odds of being sniped. It also prevents you from forgetting to bid at the last moment. I get emails all the time saying "I got distracted and did not get to bid. Do you have any more??" I almost never do!
The Fine Print. Please read!
