John,

I don't know of any such service.  There is one company, 
http://www.antiqueautobattery.com/, that sells very realistic looking 
reproductions.  There is another company, http://tartopper.com/ that 
puts some fake plastic stuff around a modern battery.  Perhaps it 
would be possible to take your battery and replace the guts with a 
modern, smaller battery.  You can also try modern battery 
charger/desulphator things, but eventually every battery will die so 
the best you can hope for would be to squeeze out a little more time.
