Well, I'm up to six Ray-O-Vac Hunter lanterns now (and counting), including two red versions with the spring clasp: one has a black-painted handle and a silver/black decal with "Hunter" spelled out in a stylized script; the second, which matches a 1955 advertisement I have, features a silver/black decal with "HUNTER" spelled out in birch logs. BOTH bear the "cloud logo" used up to about 1957. Probably the most versatile, handiest flashlight I've ever owned.

I just got one of these, with this style decal, brand new in the box. I believe the actual date to be about 1967. The cloud logo was in use well into the 1950's and the ball/bar logo didn't appear until around 1958 or so. This item included a hang tag that read "An ESB Product" and included the factory's ZIP code (53703). Postal ZIP codes are a 1960's invention and weren't in common use until the late '60's.

This light works best with a new 6V Rayovac Alkaline lantern battery and a new Rayovac 6V krypton K13/KPR113 bulb. It is far brighter than the original PR15 bulb and 8 D-cells.
