Hello all, I am seeking information on a interesting find I have. A while back our company purchased an old great northern railway depot and when cleaning it out found a cardboard box about 18 inch square and inside were 6 containers of "caustic soda" in immaculate cans, along with many unopened jars of yellow oil in small glass bottles. And the best part 4 still wrapped in paper battery cells. All unused. Box says Waterbury battery primary cells, Waterbury, Connecticut.

I am wondering how to date this, or value or what. There is even a old tag on box from the receiver in Edinburg ND.

I can add some pics when I get home.
