little off topic

born and bread with grease and oil here is my father left uncle on right.
This topic is about that battery charger I grew up with. He bought it in
1946. Thinking about it I dragged it out of the shed (he sold and retired
in 1977) tore it down like Ricks restoration, had all graffics done.
Never thought I'd get another model T but now I got a 6vt charger......

can't get the new charger pic I'll try again sam

That's a great picture. I can't wait to see what you did with the charger.

I have an old Christie battery charger that I still use. Its a prime candidate for a restoration

I have an old Associated (brand) charger. I still use it. It must be older than dirt

It will be cool to see a current pic of the charger. Photo's like this always bring back fond memories of my childhood. I can only imagine how special it must be to you being that it's your Dad and Uncle in the picture (and to still have the charger).Thanks for sharing it.

I had a sun glass display like that in my Signal service station. Never sold any that I remember. That shop is reminiscent of my childhood as well. Thanks for posting.
