6 Volt Rectangular Battery Lantern

[Bmccue1964]

Does anyone remember those area lanterns which mount directly on top of a rectangular 6 volt battery? I'm not talking about the ones with spot lights and a red flasher. I believe it had a simple 6 volt bulb inside what looked like a stern light lens off a boat or something.

The ones made by Burgess and Ray-O-Vac?

The "lens" or chimney around the bulb looked wider at the top than the bottom, and had four ~1/8 inch chromed rods who's threaded ends went through the top-cap of the assembly and had little acorn nuts on 'em? And they had a simple commercial slide switch on the top cap for on/off?

Nope! Never saw one! /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif
