The torch has signs of age and use, including dents and wear throughout -  the latter revealing it is likely made of a nickel (or similar) plated brass. The torch measures approximately 23cm ( 9 in.) in length with the intact glass lens just over 5cm (2 in.) in diameter. An interesting display piece...or indeed a quite usable torch :)

The lamp comprises a conical base with the top of the cone truncated. The base houses the switch, a battery compartment and an AC adaptor socket, whilst it is also slightly hollowed to allow the shade to sit in it when the folding arm is positioned appropriately. This transforms the whole lamp into a torch-like object, with the arm now appearing more like a handle, whilst the light itself can be used almost as a lantern when in this configuration. Otherwise, the three joints - one at the base, one at an "elbow" about halfway up the arm, and another just before the shade - allow the shade to be positioned as per a normal lamp.

Inside the shade is a small fluorescent tube which gives off a pleasing light and the cylindrical shade itself can be rotated to direct light where required. The images show a variety of the positions into which the lamp and shade can be placed.

In its most compact form, the lamp measures approximately 25 cm in height (10 in.). The base has a diamater of 11 cm (4½ in.) and a height of 6cm (2¼ in.), whilst the shade is 19cm (7½ in.) long.

In good working condition, though it has not been tested with an AC adaptor. The plastics have some minor signs of use (superficial scratches, etc.) but no chips or cracks.  If one was to be very picky, one would say the white plastics have yellowed slightly from their original bright white. The battery compartment (4 "AA" size batteries are used for operation) is clean.

This one is in good condition bar a dent to the head (see photos) and comes complete with original box and spare bulb. It works, remarkably, though it is suspected that it won't be of much genuine use. Rather,  it's an interesting curio or slightly left-field gift, most likely.  The box shows more signs of use and age, as should be expected.

The torch is powered by 2 x "C" size batteries, not included.

The lamp measures 16cm in length, with a height of 20cm and a maximum width of 12cm (6¼ in. by 8 in. by 4¾ in.), and is in very good condition. The outer plastic casing has some minor signs of wear, but is generally very clean and the bulb and battery compartments are both in very good, clean condition.  The lamp takes 4 "D" size batteries and has several settings: torch only, warning lamp only, or both warning lamp and torch.
