Newly Enlightened
After reading a lot of the posts on this board about the popularity and following for Surefire's, Arc Lights, and high-tech LEDs in general, it makes me wonder what happened to Eveready. Being the first flashlight manufacturer (since 1898), and still kicking hard, why is there no buzz surrounding them? Are their flashlights too run-of-the-mill standard? I know they still kick out 10-20 new models every year. Does anyone here even enjoy collecting them?
I know as far as antiques go, they have some of the highest price tags out there. Last week on EBay, an item was labeled "Vintage Everyeady Flashlight - found in my barn", and then it displayed the picture. The light sold for $1,700.00!!!
The most expensive Eveready light we display is the 1904 Iron Candle for $350.(Click to View)
They've really only started into more high-tech models in the last 5 years or so, starting with the Double Barrel (which has since been discontinued).
Any thoughts?
