Default D Cell Battery Reproduction Labels

Hello I'm new to this forum and not sure if this is the right place to ask this question. I was wondering if anyone has any scans of D size battery labels from 1930-1940. I'm in the process of building a 1936 Schwinn Motorbike and the tank takes 4 D cell batteries. I would like to cover the batteries with vintage labels if possible.

Thank you
Mark

I was able to find a vintage D size battery as a sample of a vintage label scan I'm looking for.

Thank you

That'd work somewhat, but the label is 60's vintage.

I've made up a bunch of thirties and forties covers. Any particular brand you're looking for?

No particular brand preference but I do like the Eveready battery logos. If I could find something period correct that would be awesome. Thanks for helping date the battery in my last post.

I found the attached scan not sure what period its from. I shrunk it and put 2together and it fits perfectly around a D size battery.

I would like to find a complete period correct flat scan of a D size battery.

Thank you for your help

As an aside (and possibly OT - sorry) was there any connection (forgive the pun) between "Eveready" in the USA and "Ever Ready" in the UK?
Cheers de Pete
