Re: Model T and/or A Battery Boxes

I don’t know about the larger one in the back, but the others look like model T "buzz box" coils. Four were used per car, one for each cylinder. They are not batteries and the model A used a more conventional distributor/coil ignition. There is lots of information online about how to repair these and parts are available.

These are sometimes used on old stationary/marine engines.
