This is one of the early paper-jacket “Unit Cell” batteries that later evolved into the standard C-cell size. The 1922 copyright date and multi-city plant listing make this a desirable piece for collectors of vintage flashlights, early batteries, advertising, and radio-era memorabilia.

The original paper label is intact and fully legible with expected age-related wear, darkening, edge fraying, and some surface soiling consistent with a 100+ year-old battery.
