RARE MAGLITES

[souptree]

So are there any other Rare Mags out there

I am still waiting to see someone post a pic of every production color of c/d Mag all in a rainbow row. :thumbsup: I'm sure it's coming... Someone must have them all?

You guys probably want to check out the MiniMag Collectors' Thread if you want rarities and rainbows. :thumbsup:

Nice 7C. 😀

It is fairly rare. There will be replacement stock lamps for it, not sure what they are, but there will be one somewhere here on CPF.

I have bought a few 7C mags here on CPF, so have some old threads I could link you to for rough market value.

If you ever look to sell it please ensure you let me know. I will (would) take it!!

I would be willing to give 200 if you are interested [email protected]

I have read that a 6 cell bulb will work fine, will give 200. for it

 

[samstterhamstter]

A truly unique MAG-LITE Bezel that left the factory with the engraving up side down. You don't see these very often.

Cool, where did you find that upside down bezel?

 

[Toohotruk]

Now THAT is very rare and very cool!!! :thumbsup:

I would have thought all the Kiwi bezles are this way round.
Makes perfect sense realy, you're upsidedown (compared to us.)

I picked up this ex New Zealand Government issue maglite not to long ago. Never seen one with Varebeam on it.

What is with having C or D in the serial number? How does not having it make the Maglite more valuable?

Also, I might be receiving three brand new sealed 5C's and a green 3C soon. If there anyone here that might have an interest in them?

Here are my two "rare" maglites.


Just your average 6D (are these worth anything?) I picked this up a few months ago MISP at a local hardware store. Should prolly get a malkoff for it.

This one, I posted in the General threads. Im trying to find out how old it is. It is a 2xAA Mini-Mag. anno is worn as you can see. But more importantly look at the bezel. the information is stamped on rather than laser etched.

There have been 3 special edition Maglites produced for and given away at Presidential inaugurations. The first was the black 2xAAA from 1989 which was originally intended to symbolize the "thousand points of light" that George Bush made famous in the campaign...As far as the 1989 light goes, from my experience, it is EXTREMELY rare. This is the only 1989 inaugural light I have ever seen. In fact, after 3 years of VERY active searching, I couldn't even find a photo of one so I'd even know what I was looking for! The only reference I could find to it existing in the first place was in the corporate timeline on the Mag website, which only states they were made.

Just curious how much these flashlights are worth today? I have one and was curious of its value. I was in the Army and drove in the Inauguration and was given it by the VIP I drove...

Where can i get a 7C or/and a 7D?

 

[greenLED]

That's an early 1980's light. Let me know if you'd like to part with it (e-mail works best these days).

Please don't hate me for being lucky.

(I'd understand if you hate me for being greedy, though.)

This is a dozen 7c Maglites that have been sitting in someone's warehouse for probably 25 years. Serial numbers range from 70039282 to 70041157, mostly 7004xxxx. Other than one that has a 2mm nick in the ano, these are mint. I can't say as much for the packaging, though, as it's generally falling apart. For scale, a Shiningbeam S-mini and a Tiablo A9.

The answer to your next question is, "No, I cleaned them out." So I won't bother telling you where they came from. Unless your really care, that is. I will say that it was a plain old google search that popped up "shopping results". (I didn't believe it, but pinged the place anyway. Apparently, they actually existed.)

A couple of these are allocated to worthy homes already. I'll keep the nicked one forever and sell some every once in a while. The first two will probably be going around November to the Marketplace (out of respect for the community) at at a fair price. (Not free; not outrageous compared to some recent sales.) If you want advance notice of the Marketplace posting, send me a PM with your regular email address (not a CPF handle). I'll try (no guarantees! emails get lost, after all) to send a blind mailing about a week before I put them up. (Blind mailing means nobody else will see your email address.) If you want notification of future sales as well as this one, say so in the PM; otherwise you'll only get one note from me.

Questions? Hate mail?
