Been looking for a 2xD Eveready Captain in nice condition that is at a reasonable price.
I have a 2xC Captain, a 3xD Captain and a 5xD pre-Captain (1953 or so). All in pretty nice condition.
But every time I find a nice looking 2xD captain, at a reasonable price, I start looking at the photos
until I hit the front "reflector" image. Can't tell you how many of them look like someone used it to
pound mails into 2x4s :
"Hey Joe, I forgot my hammer in the truck. . Should I go get it?"
"Naw, Just use your Eveready flashlight instead. That's what I do"
Yes there are some nice ones for $50 +shipping. But I'm still looking for a nice (working) 2xD version that doesn't look like it was used as an alternative for a hammer.
Funny thing is that I can find plenty of RayOVac Sportsmans, 2xD, in nice shape for $15-$20 without much effort. :thinking:
Just sad to see nice old flashlights that have been abused. .
