Description

Large glass cylinder containing two joined metal cylinders, one inside the other. The larger metal cylinder has a small metal arm attached to the side with a screw at the end, possibly for attaching it to another battery. The central metal cylinder has fabric tied around it with string. This is possibly a version of the Leclanche battery cell.
