Re: Is Ever Ready still a part of your life?
Thanks for the input. I'm a real fan of the company - even as a wee lad I was off to the Ever Ready shop to spend my pocket money.
Saturday mornings I used to take a batten holder and a 1.5 Volt battery and go up to the local shop and try out their bulbs. I was very hard to please. No off-center filaments, wonky beams or lopsided glass envelopes were allowed. They left me with packs of bulbs and half an hour later I chose one.
Just before my holidays I went to Woolworths to select a fresh No.8 battery for my bullseye torch.
I just bought a 1950's new old stock Ever Ready torch off eBay with reproduction U10 batteries. Was that anyone on here? Its a wonderful idea.
