Mike on Jan 11, 2006 - 11:51 PM 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.
