There were two oddities I remember:
One was specifically for cycle-lamps: two large fat cells in a cardboard jacket, with one springy brass contact soldered to one of the centre-rods and the other soldered to the outer zinc about half way down the side. "800" comes to mind as the type.
The other was three smaller 1.5V cells side-by-side in a cardboard jacket with rounded sides, with a pair of springy brass contacts on one end. They were used in some sort of small flashlights. Was "1289" the number?
Don't think they were Ever Ready specific though.
