These were made obsolete, pretty dramatically, by LED and strobing lights that were brighter and had much better battery life. A slug of these lights, in NOS (un-issued) condition, probably dating from the 1960s, hit the market a few years ago. I think those were made by Fulton. I've seen these with both metal and molded plastic bodies.

The other does not work at all. There is no corrosion. The urban legend was that you could see this light for a mile...not so from my experience. Any hints or history on this particular light would be appreciated.
