The ones for the military were the Khaki green. Many were made for the retail market. I worked at Delta Electric in Marion In in the 60's where these were made. They were pretty well on there last days at that time, althought the still produced. I was a production Supervisor in metal stamping. This was one of the products that sustained Delta Electric for years.<br> <br> Brings back a few memories..<br> Lee" Stan on Dec 29, 2007 - 8:24 AM I may be able to shed some light onto your ?'s (no pun intented) Delta was the first to manufacture "battery operated" lanterns/flashlights, By 1916 they were making 15 various electric lanterns, and here's where your curiosity is answered, they made lighting for the general public as well as they were called upon to manufacture specialized lights by the Goverment forarmy, navy and troops as well as navy ships etc. Your lanterns (1933) was there single most well known lantern with the two reflector "powerlite model. (have you noticed it can flash, stay stationary or both on/off back and forth?) So basically they were used two different times WWl and ll . Hope this helps a little , I would keep them as I think I would rather own then sell, it may not be much and probally not worth the bother. Some are more valuable then others depending on date issued and functions.

This lantern would continue to be made through the 1930s and during the 1940s, when it was made for the military. Powerlite production continued through the 1950s and 1960s, and into the early 1970s.

The ads I have are in 1968 with that kind of lens. Similar lantern in an ad in 1950 but without the hood on the lens. The 1956 ad lists it at $4.65 less battery. It is an all purpose lantern.
