Wanted

I'm looking for an original Model A Ford Script battery that I can borrow to duplicate the original case and markings.Here's why

My Model A needs a new battery, and the ones that I can find at a local battery shop are the typical "group 1" battery our Model A's use.Unfortunately, the "modern" group 1 battery is smaller than the original (by about 1/4 inch in length and width.Besides, they don't have the neat "Ford" script.

I suppose I could get one of those Original Repro Ford Script batteries that sell for about $100, but I can get one of equal quality for less than $50 in my hometown.

What I'd like to do is to duplicate the markings of the original battery in a rubber/plastic box that's exactly the size of the Model A's battery box and that I could simply drop an expensive "modern" group 1 battery into!

Does anyone out there have one of these old batteries that I could borrow so I could duplicate the stamping and logos?
