Flashlight Enthusiast
I'll check when I'm back home. Tbh I wasn't even interested in this type of torch it is just that it was pretty cheap shipped at around a tenner or so. The 90s Everready (actually Eveready in USA) got me started down the flashaholic path as I liked lights when I was fairly young and I didn't understand how one new in packet with fresh Classic cells(they were sold as kits sometimes back then) was dim. These were all plastic as the black one is in the pic. This was the same colour as the first one I had then.
Once home with it I lost the top to it and it got thrown away. Dad had a red one at some point and I bought a teal one as a kit and it had some sticker on it towards the end of the 90s. These were cheap lights with even cheaper batteries and if you dropped one with heavy alkalines in it expect teh bulb to break but they did the job. Compared to this the MagLite was an elite flashlight that only professionals such as cops used.
Back then I didn't care so much what light I used be it a cheap AA china light or a 2D such as Everready. I would use them to read scifi books or Goosebumps when I was supposed to be in bed asleep. Once I got my hands on a MiniMagLite I became a full blown flashaholic.
One last note is these would be paired with silver Classic cells and were sold next to the black 9 cat cells but I don't know the brand. I couldn't read when this happened only remember the logo. Sometimes you would see Duracells or Energizer on the same display but these were premium batteries and cost a lot at say an IGA or something.
