Jeran Paul on Mar 19, 2010 - 1:37 PM I found one at an antique store in Oakland, Oregon two years ago. It still works, bulb works, too. I may sell it as I'm only using it as decor right now.

It has a crest with a centaur and crossed swords on the side. Wondering if this has any significance.

Lance on Aug 6, 2008 - 2:27 AM I bought two of these candlestick flashlights online, the bulbs are burnt out and I am trying to figure out where to get some more replacement bulbs online. This uses 2 C batteries so I am guessing that the bulb would have to be 3 volts. I would be even happier if someone could help me figure out finding a LED replacement bulb as they would not burn out as readily and would use way less juice. Any help that anyone could send my way would be GREATLY appreciated. Thanks so much...

It is meant to be off when it is sitting and light up when you pick it up in the middle of the night, to go where every you must go......

" Lynne on Dec 9, 2007 - 7:18 AM Ebay has one and the seller says that it was meant to be turned off when set down, but to come on when picked up....this may explain why I can't figure out the switching mechanisms - trying to get it to stay on when set down. Sound right?

The list price was $1.55 ---In lots of six a dealer would pay $1.00 each. I have one and it still works great.

Works perfectly. You DO NOT unscrew the four screws on the bottom; mine is riveted. You simply unscrew the pedestal from the base, as you would unscrew the endcap of any normal flashlight. Be careful as the bulb retainer and glass may drop out with the batteries! Mine also has a push-pull-type switch on the bottom that you can turn to a "lock-off" position.

LeRoy Griffin on Oct 6, 2006 - 6:36 PM I have one of these and I am suprized to find it here. Yes it is a great little night light and it works as great as the day it was made. I did have to unscreww the four screws on the bottom to clean of the contacts a few years ago. I guess thats the way you need to get into it.
