🔎 UNIDENTIFIED Edison battery question

[Stuperduke]

Well, thrift store score was great picked up what I know are edison batteries, not only because they say it but because of what they are. My question is that I did not believe he made batteries before 1900. Any information on an 1890 Edison brand type Bb would be fantastic. Not looking for worth, just the history. You can still read the edison brand on the electrodes perfectly so they must not have been used much.

Well if you didn’t cut and paste that from someone else, your quite the fountain of information yourself.

I’m not so sure my file of the self winding clock company doesn’t include info from yourself. Someone here really filled in the blanks for me.

I found a battery oil bottle, but its nice to see what the whole battery looked like!
