A very rare 1920's Columbia Batteries Embossed Tin Sign.
Sign is in excellent condition, with very light areas of wear along the outer edge. Sign is Maker-Marked Shonk Works Chicago. Measures 20" X 14".
Overall, an excellent example of this hard to find piece.
$3950 shipped, OBO. Please call or PM for any questions.

But that's not a car battery - or a sign selling car batteries.

I believe Columbia Dry Cell Ignition Batteries were advertised as,

"The Vital Spark Of Life To Thousands Of Autos, Trucks, Motorboats & Farm Engines".........

Thanks for all of your invaluable input, always such a helpful crowd.
