It's a real Ray-O-Vac
$3 or $4 . . i bought a couple of them. . .
They are LED - 40+ hours on one set of batteries.
probably could retro them back to a incan if you wanted.
There haven't been fully metallic cheap chinese 2D flashlights in a while.
Probably need to find new old stock from eBay. Type in 'vintage Eveready' or Rayovac. There you'll find the real thing(s).
Tiger brand was the cheap Chinese clone.
Those 100 year Rayovacs are pretty much gone from WalMarts. Shame too, because they were pretty cool.
555 was a fund raising deal where some guys pooled resources to have some stuff made for funds to be used to pay for R&D into other electronic stuff they were developing.
I did a short write up about the 2D saying it was a pretty good light for the time.
It was a then and now story comparing Chinese made flashlights of the old days to the modern day (starting in the 1970's) way they do it.
If you liked that 555 they are at eBay from time to time, cheap.
I just got this Tiger Head flashlight. It's new but was sold as "new old stock" so I don't know if this is actually old and if they still make these. I don't know if these are close to a sportsman or not.
