Early 20th Century "J-E" Storage Battery Flange Sign

About the Item

Antique flanged service station sign. This piece advertises Jelly-Electrolyte, or "J-E" storage batteries. The "jelly" eliminated the need for refilling water (a task required with early batteries) and was more dependable in cold weather months as the material didn't freeze. The "jelly" also prevented sulfation, which is a condition that occurs when lead sulfate crystals build up on battery plates. The sign was hung from the wall of a service station, as the text across the top denotes, and the same image is repeated on both sides.
