Not sure if this should go here, or in the "home brew" section.

I want to build a replica of the wooden battery box that Atwater Kent used to sell to keep their "A", B", and "C" batteries in (shown in the #3 owner's manual, which details, among other things, the A-K 35), right down to any labels (if possible) to hide my non-vintage battery eliminator. Does anybody have one of these? If so, can you please post detailed photos, dimensions, photos and dimensions of metal tags (if any), etc.?

I've never seen one or heard of one.

I saw it in the back of the Atwater Kent user's manual #3.

Okay, I found the dimensions on page 48 of A-K manual #2 http://www.atwaterkentradio.com/AKInstructionBookVol2.pdf. Unlike my copy of manual #3, the dimensions are actually given for both the box used for storage (wet) batteries, and the one used for dry batteries. Only question now is, did it have any metal tags on it...?
