    Your Antique Flashlights in Review

    Thank you for reviving this great thread. I love searching for, buying, and fixing up these old lights. There is one of those Burgess promo lights for sale at the Roller Mills Antique Co-op in Lewisburg, PA.. It has been sitting there in the case for years, and I have resisted the temptation...

    WW1 1914 Everready Military Torch

    Thanks so much for sharing this rare light with us. Great pictures. I still kick myself for NOT buying a wooden box lantern that I saw at an antique shop about 25 years ago, I think they only wanted $20 for it! Don't remember if it was marked Eveready, but I will never walk away from any...

    Post WW2 German Ennwell Signal Torch

    Sorry off topic, but I cannot view those great photos! I went to photobucket website, and it looks like I need to subscribe at $400/year to enable third party photo hosting access? Do I have this right? Anyone else have this issue? :confused: I so want to see that signal torch!

    Military Pilots Penlight made by Foster?

    Very cool looking penlight! I came across what looks like your Foster penlight at this auction site called WorthPoint. But too bad this site gives you very little info unless you are signed in as a member. http://www.worthpoint.com/worthopedia/vintage-pen-light-flashlights-lot-1692644626

    C cell mini mags

    I also love the C cell Mag-lights. They seem to hold better in your hand than the D size. You have a very nice collection!

    Sterling Silver AA or AAA collection Anyone?

    I was disappointed. I thought this thread was about some really old vintage silver plated flashlights. Over a hundred years ago, can you imagine, these are for real.... http://www.flashlightmuseum.com/Eveready-Flashlight-6980-Silver-Plated-Vest-Pocket-Light-MIB-2AAA-1913

    vintage Pen torches

I have quite a number of Eveready penlights, but could not identify No. 1980 in my main research tool for Eveready lights, a great book by Bill Utley http://www.flashlightmuseum.com/flashlight_view.cfm?item_number=0000001 Maybe we are not talking...

    Are sealed beam lamps still popular?

The tight beam is designed for throw, and of course had many popular uses. On a boat in a lake at night it was essential to find your way back to the...
