Ford Script Battery Box what year?

[Bergy1]

I recently bought this cool NOS Ford battery box. Can anyone tell me what years it is used for? Says it is a type 40 ?

Thanks!

Its a 40-10660 case used in Ford batteries from 1934 thru 1939. See image.

Don Rogers, The picture you show is of a ford script battery not a box like Whizzernick's picture which is a empty box to place a unscripted battery in. In any case number one, I doubt that Whizzernick's case would fit in the 34-35 battery holder Ford provided, and two, why go to the expense of a scripted battery under the floorboards where it cannot be seen.

Keith, I'm confused by your comments. The only picture that I see besides mine was posted by Bergy1. If you look closely you will see that there are 3 compartments in the battery case that would hold the plates for 3 cells if the battery was rebuilt. This looks like an original case or a good repro.

That's the way the old tar top batteries were constructed. The case is generally hard rubber like the stuff the old hair combs used to be made from. Henry liked his name or initial on things no matter where they were placed in the vehicle.
