Philco Made Garbage Cans!!!!

This will look good in the radio museum.

The smaller bottle says "Edison Battery Oil". I always thought that oil in your electrolyte was bad. Guess I'll have to start lubing my batteries.

Oil in batteries was NOT in electrolyte - it was poured on TOP the electorlyte to prevent the evaporation.
