    Description

    Twist handle to generate power flashlight seems to operate as it should, but bulb only lit up first two times, did not light up third time.  There is a spare bulb inside the flashlight, but it did not light up at all.  I think the one inside is an original bulb, and the one under the glass may be a later replacement.  But I really don’t know!  It has two sliding buttons that are ‘off’ when slid away from you when holding in your hand, and ‘on’ when slid back toward you when holding.  The larger button works the generator, and the tiny button works the bulb.  Appears to say ‘Freehold NJ, USA’ on bottom along with ‘E’ and ‘00127’, along with other information.
    Please see all photos as part of description.  Light
    bulb is dim and doesn’t last too long.  Army green paint is mostly gone.  Thick glass shows wear from age and use, but is intact.   Approximately 7 3/4” long and about 2 3/4” across glass on wide end.  I am selling this flashlight as a collectible item, not as a truly useable flashlight that will show you the way.  So, I am asking a fair price, but will not be accepting returns on this piece.  Made of metal, it is heavy, weighing 2 pounds and 10 ounces. Shipping weight will be 3-4 pounds.  USPS Priority Mail Service.
