My brother was owed some money by a guy, the guy gave him some boxes of random junk. My brother then had to move across the country and so he gave me these boxes beforehand, since he could only take a fraction of his possessions...
Most of the crap was random junk, easily recycled or sold on ebay/craiglist... however one thing that stood out was this weird red light with a plug on it... after some research I found out the light is what's called a "battle lantern". But, all the battle lanterns I see are metal.. or yellow, and seem to be from WW2 era. Mine is considerably newer, with '69 stamped on the inside, and looks like fiberglass. I did some searching on the name stamped on the light, "Roflan", and finally found somewhere that this particular light is a Type 1513... Aside from that, I couldn't find out anything else as to where/who/why this light was ever made and used..
Just wondering if anyone else can give me more details!
