Hi all!
I was wondering if anyone can share any info they have about this flashlight.
My partners grandfather passed away and we inherited this beautiful vintage flashlight.
It's an Eveready, embossed with "Made in Hong Kong" and engraved with " "Eveready" case no. 2500".
It's entirely metal, bar the part where the light comes out of course which is glass (it has a pipi shell shaped chip in it on the inside which I think is a cute quirk of use and a life lived).
Would love to know of it's history if anyone knows the year it was made or anything like that? Also what size battery it might take? A 'C' sized battery is too large but an 'AA' far too small. There's no corrosion inside and the bulb filament looks intact so it would be wicked if we could get it going.
Any help would be greatly appreciated! I really love to know the history of things.
Ngā mihi, thank you!
