Here's my sole vintage torch, a Steamship which had always lived at the parental home before I was born and came with me here 20 years ago.
Nowadays I use zinc-carbon batteries because I'm tired of alkaline D-cells leaking. This is my 'power-cut' torch and lives in the cupboard.

If anyone's interested I have a couple of inter-war catalogues with lots of torches in them I could scan.
