Re: Old torches - anyone here collect them?
I certainly remember the No 8 battery being marketed in the UK by Ever Ready bearing the 'Bijou' name. I guess the individual cells were something like modern 'sub-C' cells in size.
On a broader note, does anyone share my recollection that torch batteries in the late 1950s and 1960s were expensive, worked OK for a short while when brand new, but thereafter deteriorated quickly to a 'brown-out' and were prone to leak?
