Still got the first flashlight(s) you ever bought? I'll start off...please post yours! 
All purchased new ~35 years ago except the 2D Kel-Lite, because I never owned a small head Kel. The Yawara stick is not a flashlight, but thrown in for good measure since I purchased it during the same period. I carried the 3D daily for years. The 3C Kel-Lite was for going out to dinner and such, due to its smaller size, relatively. The red Smoke Cutters were just interesting and fun to play with on a foggy night, since I try not to charge into burning buildings. They can also be reconfigured into a 5 cell with nothing more than a lamp change to a PR12. The black 3D light by LA Screw Products (2nd from the left) has a fascinating reflector designed to produce flood only, as it is comprised of hundreds of discrete rectangles, like a disco mirror ball in reverse.
