This thread is bad for me. I already collect enough things, on top of I have a few 2AAs already....makes me want to start another collection.

My collection consists of pewter.
I have at least 1 of each model from the 2D model, smaller in pewter.
Bought an LED AA this year and it was exactly the same color as the incan I bought years and years ago.

The mini mag AA collection consists of several pewter incan and LED. And recently I bought 1 of each to stash in a safe place to be left in the package(s).

My first mini mag AA (an old incan) doesn't have a serial # on the barrel.

I haven't gotten the Mag family together for a photo yet, but was actually thinking about it since I have some rare AA's. I'll see about doing one. In the meantime, I might have a quickie I could do.

Here's a quick and easy one showing my gold minimags: 3 gold plate over brass models from the mid-80s, and 2 more recent gold plate over aluminum machined models from Modamag. Note this photo doesn't show the 2 "gold tone" ones I have which are not actually gold.

In the true spirit of CPF and excessive flashlight collecting I'd like to present:
The Wall O' Maglites:

Well, ok Maglite is my main flashlight up until I found this forum. I have several Fenix and a few others on the way this next week.

I'll have to get some pictures, but mainly I have like:

(1) 3 D cell Maglite
(1) 2 D cell Maglite
(5) Mini Maglites
(5) Solitaire Maglites

All of them are incandescent .... so pretty dull

I also have (2) Pelican 1920 AA lights.... I think they are 120 and 12 lumens or something like that!

I can't wait until the Fenix show up. I got a few E01s, E05 E12, PD 35TAC and five E20 shakers .... (they were blowing them out for $27 each).
Then I bought a few cheap Chinese DX store special .... I don't know if they will work or not, but they seemed like a good deal.

I'll post pics of everything when I get them all together! This place instantly turned me into a Flashaholic :mad:

I bought a dark (weinrot?) red from someone in California and was shipped to me. I was super excited to get this as it is really hard to find color variations over the internet. Anyway I knew it was 1980's NOS from the photos of the bezel so I took a chance. I was thrilled when I opened it up until I turned it over only to find out it had a company logo on it!......might have been good information to know before I spent $40 on it......

Happy hunting!

I've got a weinrot and 2 hot pinks I will let go of. Bought the weinrot from someone here several years ago. It's a perfect match to one I got from germany.

Thanks to member Poppy my oldest mini mag is back in service due to a broken switch now being replaced.
He posted a video showing how to disassemble the switch and hooked me up with one from a body that was trashed by a leaker.


^^ the one at the top is back in action.

There was a black bezel in the envelope as well with the 'old' style cat on it that went on the silver n black nite-ize'd incan.
And from same head a better lens went on the TerraLUX'd black n silver light.
The bulb from a tailcap in the package went into the silver light.

Thanks Poppy


^^ aaaaand the total incan family
Two on the left and one on the far right are still incan'd.

I have a few LED versions in varying brightness levels scattered about. But these are my favorites.

Greetings,

Just received this new light. It was listed as "light purple" so thought I'd give it a try.

Yes, it has a logo it is indeed a light purple / color variation. If you don't already own a light purple this one could be compared to the Salem Cigarette jade/teal green light or the Winston Cigarette light red color. Both of these are color variations and look great in your collection.

Happy Hunting in 2016!

Hi Sizzle, I'd be happy to have it. As you know, I have a going collection (much to your credit) and this would be another variation.

Hi Sizzlechest,
It is getting hard to find new lights. The light purple would be a great addition to my collection.
My collection is 70 strong and I still check eBay most days for anything interesting.

I have some special jaw pliers that would not mark the end cap and I will attempt to undo it and restore it to operational condition. I have all the spare parts for these lights and enjoy getting them going again.

Thank you for considering me in your decision on who gets it. If successful my delivery address would be in California.

Thanks
Barry

Impressive. Is that 70 AA lights only?

I was more active on eBay about a year ago buying the occasional rare light. We might have been competing on some of those. :)

I have not purchased much in the last year or more. Most recent was a signature light "John Andretti 43 Petty Enterprises". I asked if anyone had seen one of these in post 755 a few years ago.
I have about 65 AA mini maglites in total. This includes 15 Nascar Signature lights and a few other odd ones like the Marlboro Lizard lights and Flaglites.
Speaking of flaglites I have a few variations of them with different wording. Somewhere there is a post about it but only one person contacted me to get one. I have not counted these double ups in my total.

Dana or Sunspot has at least one Signature light "Richard Petty 43" that I do not have.
