I know the wooden battery isn't a bottle but interesting none the less , he said it was out of a model a .

That "wooden battery" isn't a battery. It's an ignition coil. 6vdc in, and high voltage out to the spark plug. And if I'm not mistaken, those were found only on model T's. By the time the model A rolled around, ('28-'31), they had encased them in bakelite and oil bath.
