It pays to know what your looking at while meandering around swap meets

I spotted this at the Traf swap meet yesterday

It's a Larkspur radio battery box .. these are very hard to find and I now have 2 of them , both found at local swap meets .

Two are needed for the vehicle eg Land Rover or Champ radio set up ... this one has DUNLOP embossed into the front and the 12V 75 AH .

From the design characteristics, I can see why they are hard to find. My mind's eye has a dozen other uses for such a steel box that don't include carrying batteries.

Hard to find... oops... have been cutting them up for the fittings for repro WW2 boxes!

There is one floating around with the un-catalogued artifacts at the Shilo RCA museum. Were these part of the the C-42 setups?
