I thought some of you might find this interesting. My dad and I were going through an old shed at my grandmother’s house that is going to be torn down and I found this old flashlight. It doesn’t work as found but I may try and find a 6 volt battery with screw posts to see if the bulb is still good.



As you can see from the picture, the reflector looks like mylar or something like it. Looks like someones attempt at ‘improving’ the beam. I’m sure there is very little throw and probably not much light. I wander what kind of runtime this light has too.



The only information I can find on the light itself is on the handle. As you can see, it reads “Radar Bearcat By Burgess”. It actually looks to be in fair condition given the fact that the shed was in poor condition itself.
I will keep you posted if I get it working. I will leave you with a picture of the reflector. I will eventually try and take the light apart to see what it looks like on the inside.

I bought this about 5 years ago at an antiques shop and I'm guessing it was from the Navy from the imprinted USN on the end.

It measures 4" high and has a 1 1/2" diameter at the base and domed plastic screw off top.

It takes a D battery and it works great.

It also has an attached safety pin on the side.

I have a cool old 5D cell light that my dad gave me a few years ago.

I have no idea who makes it and it has no manufacturer name on it. It just says "Pat. applied for" on one side of the switch and "Made in U.S.A." on the other side.

Next I present my Kwik-lite made by Fulton Industries in 1952

I just recently got an old light at an antique store that I absolutely love. Its an Eveready Captain, which i've seen a ton of before, but its a 2C cell instead of a 2D. Its pictured here with a 2D Citation on the left and a McLux PD on the right.



Its a great sized light, and right now its using 2 14500s and a 5 cell radio shack bulb so it weighs practically nothing but really puts out a decent amount of light. It has been a great light to have around at night and really suprise someone when they pick it up to use.

Dan Dare Cosmic Ray Gun (Palitoy / 1954 / U.K. / 5 x 6 inches)


When Dan Dare arrived in the pages of Eagle magazine in 1950, children in the U.K. finally had their own Buck Rogers. And with him came a level of merchandizing that'd do ol' Buck proud! Rockets, costumes, plastic figures, space phones, pop-up books, and, of course, an armory's worth of ray guns. While all these guns were spectacular, it's safe to say that the Cosmic Ray Gun with Tri-Color Beam was light years ahead of the pack.






The toy's designers managed to cram an enormous amount of play value into this ornate, but small package. Pulling the trigger provides the ubiquitous clicking noise while at the same time firing a (flashlight) beam of light. Turning one of two knobs located just above the reflector flips either a red or yellowish-green gel in front of the light bulb, changing the beam's color. The gun also has not one but two compartments for secret messages, one located under a yellow cap in the back, and one in a hidden panel in the butt of the gun's handle.


The red gel in the retracted position. Note the flashlight bulb on the right.



The red gel covering the flashlight bulb. The retracted green gel can be seen over along the right edge.


The green gel flipped down to cover the flashlight bulb.


The cap removed from the back of the gun.


This is one of my favorite space guns, and I'd been searching for it ever since I first saw a picture in the book Ray Gun, by Eugene Metcalf. So much detail went into the toy's design -- the futuristic rings and swoops, the giant reflecting lens, the wire-frame handle. But this is a rare space gun, and wanting one doesn't equal getting one. Especially if you're like me, and really wanted the fantastic display box.




I love how the designers took the time to consider what each part of the gun would actually do were the weapon real. It's complete gibberish, of course, but how great are labels like "Atomic Charging Port" and "Static Condenser"? It's just a brilliant way to show off the toy.


The gun's fairly rare, but it does come up from time to time. Sadly, I never had the money, and I had to let two or three of them slip past me. Finally, though, not too long ago, this one appeared on eBay with a surprisingly low starting bid. I figured it would increase by another 50 percent by auction's end. Still, I placed a bid, not really expecting to win. So imagine my surprise when the auction ended and no one else bid? Not only did I score a dream toy, but I managed to save a bundle on it.


A nice example of how patience -- whether voluntary or enforced by the gods of eBay and collecting -- can pay off nicely.

Вроде трофейный, дедушка подруги у языка конфисковал. Хотя не исключаю, что и нашего производства.
Как светит к сожалению не знаю.

Уважаемый грохотайло, а побольше фоток есть возможность сделать и заслать в тему?
А вот рёбрышки жесткости, что видны на представленной фотографии, мне еще не попадались.
Может кто встречал подобное и подскажет чьих фонарик будет?
