Hello! I have a flashlight that I just bought that I would like some help with.
It's this 1925 Eveready here (I think): http://www.flashlightmuseum.com/Eve...ome-with-Ring-Hanger-and-Walleye-Lens-2D-1925
...only it has had the end-cap modified with two wires attached with nuts to little screws drilled through the cap. The cap has no spring inside, so I am having a hard time trying to figure out what the two red and black wires are for. Both wires are only attached to the cap, and none of them lead to the lightbulb at all. I pulled out two D batteries from the 1980's from the inside, so I assume that was the last time it was used.
I do not have my own photos of it yet, but here is the auction that includes photos: http://www.ebay.com/itm/380444387988?ssPageName=STRK:MEWNX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1439.l2649
It looks like some kind of modification, but for what use? I at first thought something for a 6-volt battery, but seeing as none of the wires lead to the bulb, that theory was gone. Any help?
