First post here and thanks for letting me in!
Just wanted to ask does anyone know what type of flashlight this is?
It was used as the eyepiece for this one off Dalek built by the BBC for the TV Series 'Doctor Who'. Rumours suggest that it was an Ever Ready model readily available here in the UK in the early 1970's but I have not seen one like it before?
The Dalek was built circa 1973 and I'd estimate the white part of the lens to be about 3" in diameter. This was the Dalek Supreme from Planet of the Daleks for anyone that wants to know and sadly was altered some time later and lost it's fairly unique 'eye'. The chap on the left is Terry Nation who created the Daleks and yes they are 'jam jars' on the top!
As a builder of Daleks myself I'd be very aprreciative of anyone that has any information. It's had us stumped for some time and my plan is to build a full size replica of this Dalek. Having the correct Flashlight or at least information on it would help immensely.
Many thanks for your time,
Grant
