Rare vintage flashlight made by Bright Star in the USA. Estimate this dates to 1930s. Bright Star was founded in 1909 in New York as a battery manufacturer (Bright Star Battery Company) and later merged with Koehler. Flashlight appears to be in good working condition, but is UNTESTED. Uses No. 10 single cell batteries made by Bright Star which I do not have access to. It was not uncommon for companies to make batteries unique to their own products back in the early days. Light bulb included is also untested. Flashlight in good overall condition with signs of wear and age, but still displays well. Black plastic ribbed handle with no cracks or chips. Power slide switch works as normal. Front protective glass lens is fine. Inside reflector intact and with some light wear. Front and back metal ends unscrew as normal. Some corrosion inside back end cap as shown. Battery spring is intact. Inside battery terminals look good. Small dents to front metal bulb and reflector external housing as shown. Measures about 6 7/8” long… SOLD!!

Vintage Bethlehem Steel Galvalume alloy sheet metal advertising sample which would have been available at construction supply businesses. Galvalume sheet metal was invented by Bethlehem Steel in 1972 as an alternative to standard galvanized sheet metal. It’s an aluminum-zinc alloy steel sheet metal coating which is more resistant to corrosion than galvanized metal. This Galvalume sheet metal sample is in very good condition and features the Bethlehem Steel logo at top. Minor wear on back as shown. No dents. Displays very well!! Measures about 3” diameter… SOLD!!
