The switches did seem to give trouble after a lot of use. The one on the really old Ever Ready rubber torch that was my fathers is very hard to switch on and could well have been repaired by me for him after complete failure many years ago. They seem to have made that type of torch over many years and if that black torch isn't late 50s, then it has to be early 60s. I've been thinking about the grey one that I had and it could have been an Exide version.
