I came across this same flashlight, in better shape than the one shown here, when going through my deceased grandfather's shop. I don't know if it works and needed to know what type of batteries and bulb to use. If anyone has any information on the bulb used in this flashlight please contact me at tx_bluiz73@yahoo.com. Thank you

This light uses spring-top 6-volt lantern battery; original style sealed-beam "headlight-type" bulb seems to be difficult to find but found similar/workable replacement style bulb unit at Sears, Approx. $12.00

The lamp is a #4546lamp. 4.7volts at .5amps. You can buy these from McMaster-Carr Supply as well as the 6volt spring top battery. McMaster' site is: www.mcmaster.com

Whoops! The last post is wrong. Sorry. I meant to post this for the Big Beam 166. With this said you can still get the sealed beam for this lantern at McMaster.
