Well this one hasn't leaked and even has some life left in it. (Not much though - voltage drops to 1.2V with a 1k load)
It was recently removed from an old multi-meter and had been soldered in position.
Would this battery date from some time in the 60's ?
Regarding old torches, I had a Pifco one (haven't seen it for a while...) with a chromed metal case with red and green coloured filters that could be slid in front of the bulb.
