I acquired the Marquis from a fellow in London LiftdT4.
He said he had visited California and found a little 1aaa flashlight made by Maglite in a department store. Not knowing it would be so special he used it often.
Best part was he was only asking $14.99 for it (plus shipping). So $40 and 3 weeks later it was at my home.
To me the story of some of the oldies is the charm. I have bought plenty where the seller said "estate sale" or "found in an attic"... but the ones that come from the original owner, or knew the original owner and had stories to tell...
Those are my favorites.
