Default Re: Old torches - anyone here collect them?

I have no idea who owns these torches and other junk on these shelves.
A very early No8 battery can be seen behind that glass lamp shade together with some wood cased examples from the 'Dads Army'era.
A much later No8 is seen in another picture together with an old AVO battery.
The 'dog' torch dates from around 1952. You push his tail and he lights up. Sorry they didn't market a cat version.
I think the whole lot should be scrapped in case I start collecting even more junk. Regards, John.
