Up for auction is a vintage HOBBS Battery Company horseshoe shaped battery date stamp. Before the plastic sticker was the date stamp. The gas station or service station mechanic would put this horseshoe shaped tool over the lead terminal and give it a whack- presto! Date of installation. Great hard to find gas and oil item for your Petroliana collector.

Please look at all the pictures before you bid, as they are a part of the description.

Your items will be safely packed.  Shipping is estimated to be the actual amount if not less.  I’ll return all excess charges over $2. The shipping quoted is domestic US postage or freight. If you would like insurance, that will need to be added at checkout at your cost. All international shipping will go through the eBay global shipping center with the additional charges they add on.

Shipping is getting more and more expensive.  Think of your shipping costs of the price of admission to an antique or collector show and you didn’t have to drive there!  The item shows up at your door.
