    Antique Edison Era Battery Replica.    This is a brand new non-working REPLICA/ MODEL of a 1880 s Grenet cell battery. Serial #3.  "Battery" is hand made one at a time. Each one may be a few millimeters different in appearance.   I am listing only one at a time to assure you that you will receive the exact item as pictured.  Model is meant to represent the basis elements of a wet cell battery having a zinc plated rod,graphite/carbon bars,glass flask but only decorative "terminals".  It displays nicely in appearance as a replica/ model of a Grenet cell.   The elements HAVE NOT been assembled to produce any voltage.  Chemicals are never to be used with this "battery".  "Lid is not attached and it does not seal.  Size: Height to top of lid is 5  1/2". Total height to top of rod is 7  1/2". Glass flask width of globe area is 3  1/2".  It doesn't take up much space and makes for a bit of nice fun decor in any setting. Be it a book shelf,desk or work place. A unique conversation piece to send you back to a bygone era.   Please examine photos  as this is part of description and item is non returnable.  All that being said  it will make a nice addition to complement your antiques of that era.  If not totality satisfied please contact me before leaving any negative ratings. I will try my best to see that you are happy with this purchase. You can also call me as I am "old school".   Shipped to only the USA " lower 48 states".  Thank you for viewing !
    This is an antique pocket watch form pedometer by Payne & Co., 163 Bond Street, London.  It is number 3996 and probably dates to c. 1865.  The white porcelain dial is 1 1/2 inches diameter.  It is in a machine turned gilt brass case marked AT and numbered 3996 as well.  The crystal has been replaced with an early celluloid one.
    Payne & Co. were active in Bond St. from 1825 into the early 20th century.  They were well known for their pedometers, which are usually found in silver or gold cases, which allows for easier dating by their serial numbers.
