Default Re: Old torches - anyone here collect them?

When I was much younger, I had all kinds of torches, many of them were from PIFCO. One of my favorites was the bulls eye torch, and I had several similar types of pocket torches, not to mention penlight torches.

Another was a tricolour torch, it had 3 coloured sleeves that you could slide over the bulb by means of some buttons on the outside of the body, gave red, green, and blue.

Also had a battery reading light that attached to the headboard of the bed for reading at night, while listening to radio Luxembourg, if my parents were asleep.

Unfortunately that only ones I have left is a couple of ever ready rubber torches, a penlight torch, and some bicycle front lights, I do not remember what happened to all the others. Shame!
