” on both sides. The flashlight opens and latches closed well. Both lamp angles can be adjusted, including an arm that raises the red lamp. As shown in the photos, the flashlight is in very good condition for its age with typical wear from use, including some surface rust, small marks, and some pitting in the chrome finish. The interior is generally clean with very little surface rust as shown. Some of the rubber cover for one of the switches is missing, so the push-button switch is visible as shown. There are no cracks in the lenses: the clear (white) lens is in really nice shape with minimal surface wear, and the red lens has some surface scratches and small chips in the outer ridges. This vintage Big Beam Sealed Beam Beacon Lamp would make a great addition to your collection!
