Looking for an original Ford model A battery, Made in Canada. Condition isn't important and can be a partial piece of the case that must have "Made in Canada" molded in. Needs to be an original, not reproduction.
Some Canadian cases look different than most Model A batteries. Most A batteries have a partial frame with only two sides and the top. In this three sided frame there are vertical corrugation's going from inside the top frame to the bottom of the battery. It has the Ford oval with Made In U.S.A. or Made in Canada below.
One style of Canadian battery, the frame is four sided (a complete frame) so the frame has a bottom. On this style the vertical Corrugation's stay within the frame and don't reach the bottom of the battery. It is still the same size battery with the Ford Oval and Made in Canada below.
To date, this was believed not to be an original Model A battery. In the Canadian Ford Service Bulletins, it clearly shows this battery. It is shown in a couple cut away pictures in the 1929 Canadian Service Bulletin on page 10.
