I love this thread and can remember my first torch bought for me when I was four (a three-colour model that ran off a 3LR12 4.5V battery - the colours were changed by sliding the lenses in the end) through all the torches I've ever owned: Woollies was 'torch heaven'. I saw one of the colour-light torches I owned on here, post #17.

Regrettably, the only 'classic' torch I now own is a NOS Ever Ready rubber torch from the 1970s, bought from the top, dusty shelf of a TV shop in Penrith as the owner was was closing down the business.
