The photo shows an enamel sign for the retro Showa-era “Yamabishi Colloid Storage Battery.” At the top of the sign, the registered trademark for “Yamabishi”—featuring two overlapping mountain-shaped designs—is depicted in red. The text is arranged in the horizontal writing style of the era, read from right to left (right-to-left horizontal writing), and the content is as follows: How to read the text (modern left-to-right reading) Patent (top left and right of the sign) Yamabishi Colloid Storage Battery (bold text in the center) Chargers and Various Batteries (text at the bottom center) Authorized Dealers (text at the very bottom) A “colloidal storage battery” is a type of lead-acid battery in which the electrolyte is converted into a gel (colloidal) state to prevent leakage and enhance resistance to vibration and tilting. This sign is a historically significant corporate advertisement and promotional item that was displayed in the storefronts of “authorized dealers (sales agents)” who handled the product at the time.
