More than likely, it was used for the old dry cell batteries that were used in the old crank telephones... and used as ignitor for gas engines and for telegraphs and radios. They were good sized batteries... an still only 1 1/2 volts each.

Use to have them big 1.5 V drycells when had model airplanes - use to heat glow plug to start .045 engine - when they lost all voltage (dead) took a nail and poked two holes in top - then poured amonia on top and let it absorb in - got the battery back to life again for a month or so - then had to wet it down again Lot of old electric fence chargers used a couple of the 1.5 volt batteries also
