Here's a rarely seen 2-piece porcelain battery rest found in France. It is boldly marked TUDOR with a STAR separating each of the two markings. Dates back to 1888, the year la Société Tudor was founded and they began manufacturing battery accumulators in Luxemborg. The company eventually had distributors and manufacturers in France, Spain, Italy. Measures 8 1/2" wide x 1 1/2" tall. Haven't seen a bigger one than this example!

Excellent condition with no chips or cracks. There is some light use marks, probably while being in service on a large storage battery accumulator cell. A very teeny rough spot on the tip of one of the stars and some light scratches and discoloration on the base otherwise Excellent condition!

Most porcelain battery rests are not marked! That makes this one especially desirable for battery rest enthusiasts! Note that the base on this cool example has the sloping edges variant.

First email that says they will buy it gets it for only $375 plus shipping. Thanks
