Looks like a stamp for date coding something with the month/year in 1956.

you are correct i think surrette is a battery company so i'm thinking the batteries were stored dry so when you fill and charge you would stamp it 1 year warranty so this stamp was good for 1 year

Might be worth reaching out to Surrette with an email and photos and they might just fill you in on the details. They might even offer to buy it from you for their company collection.

It don't think it was a stamp, I think ya heated that thing up and branded the battery. They were plastic and really didn't like being beat on.
