Cheap Or Free Battery Lugs

[coopdad]

Wonderful find on the bathroom floor a few days ago! Zipper teeth from blue jeans look a lot like battery lugs! And being metal the can be "squeezed " to paper clip terminals. Another shot a little clearer.

Of course, there are many sizes of zippers meaning many scales are available.

You never know where inspiration will hit you. Really a neat low-buck detailing idea.
