Burgess you're just an incurable romantic.
I have an Eveready Captain that I got from my Mom when I gave her my brightest CMG Infinity Ultra in 2004. It's till on orig. battery. Mom went and got a silver 2C Eveready Captain. She said it never works "I put in new batteries and the bulb is dead. When I put in a new bulb the batteries are dead." My Eveready Captain is Identical to the one on Mr. Light's pic on the far left and I use a 2C Maglite LED bulb but want a Dorcy but they only ship to US.

Mom has a large old style 6 volt lantern w/large reflector. Carries an Arc clone FL 319 (loves it) with split ring clipped to the inside of her vest, sweater or jacket with a safety pin and a backup is a DX Fauton. Notice the covert action, saying "I don't want anyone to know I carry a flashlight they may think it's strange".
Older than dirt.
