My new to me 1920s Eveready. Cleaned up corrosion, put in new insulation, now it is working fine. I put in rechargeable batteries, and a warm white led bulb.
I am more excited about a flashlight than a grown man should be
Yes, I know this thread is older than the hills.

You should be excited Charlie.
The older stuff is made way better and is much cooler than what's out there today.
Enjoy!

Great minds. 2 I have. The one on bottom is a Ranger. Has a screw-in bulb. Finally found one (expensive) out of England. More of a flood light than a spot.
Reflector does not come into play. Great light for walking.
One on the top is a Nipco. Lens got broke and all I could find was a double-concave old projector lens to fit. Cheap Ebay flange type bulb.
Again, not a great pattern, but plenty bright.
Next move is adapters to put AA's in instead of the expensive C's.
