It has a swivel neck, runs on two C cells, and has three red LEDs on the tail section. A slide switch on the barrel selects the LEDs steady-on, the main lamp blinking at about a 2Hz (around 2 blinks per second) rate, the LEDs and main lamp steady-on together, and main lamp steady-on.
The flashlight is approximately 10.5" long with the neck extended to horizontal (so the light head is aimed forward with the barrel). In the above picture, the head was swivelled to 90°; it swivels over approximately a 100° range, with detents along several positions.

I'm guessing this was made sometime in the late 1970s.

I already sent several pictures of this to The Flashlight Museum, and they didn't know what it was. Maybe somebody here at CPF knows.
 
I have one like that.
It also has a rubberneck/flexible shaft thingy that can go inbetween the body and the head sort of like a "Snake Light". Mine is yellow though...I'll have to swing by my storage unit to see if it has any other sort of identification markings on it. See if yours is the same -- the head piece should detach from the body.

If memory serves me (and it probably doesn't) I think I got it at a KMart or local Ace/True Value Hardware.
 
I didn't realise the head came off. But there are these two large knurled plastic **** on the sides of the barrel below the head, and if you push in on them firmly, the head pulls straight off, exposing two small metal prongs that fit into matching slots on the now-flat top of the barrel. The head is keyed so it only fits on the barrel one way, so if I put an EverLED bulb in it, I wouldn't have to worry about smoking it. /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif

Mine did not come with a rubber neck or shaft thingie. I guess either mine is incomplete, or the shaft was available as an optional accessory for the flashlight.

Thank you very much for the information. /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif
 
Glad I could help!
Did you want me to go and pick mine up to see if there was anything further I could tell you about mine?
 
Go get yours only if you want to; I won't make you go get it just to see if it's really the same flashlight. /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grinser2.gif /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif
After all, it's a flashlight, not a liver bone. /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/wink.gif
