Great little flashlight. I got two in 1969 given to me from a military base. Still have them, and they still work fine. Bit hard on the hand, but handy when the lights go out....

THEY STILL MADE LIGHTS LIKE THIS...UP TO THE LATE 1990'S..I BOUGHT A BUNCH FROM A MAGAZINE ARTICLE....(6 FOR 25 BUX)....ALTHOUGH THEY WERE RED PLASTIC, KINDA CHEAP AN FLIMSY...AN BROKE AFTER A LIL WHILE...I GAVE THEM ALL OUT TO MY COUSINS KIDS AS TOYS...BUT THE PROBLEM WAS...NO BATTERY OR CAPACITOR...IT ONLY STAYED LIT AS LONG AS YOU PUMPED IT LIKE MAD...TODAYS NEW CRANK AN SOLAR L.E.D. LIGHTS ARE FAR FAR SUPERIOR...BUT I WOULD'NT MIND HAVIN ONE OF THESE "OLD" METAL ONES....THESE WERE WELL MADE BACK IN THE OL DAYS...

I have a white one with a black handle. It also has the spare bulb. It says patent applied for with no numbers. I got mine at a yard sale for 50 cents.
I just thought it was cool.

I just got one of these as a gift, from a flea market. I don't think it was bought for more than $3-5.

I have one in black. The round cap holds a replacement bulb. It makes some noise and works as long as you squeze it.
