<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Shangas, post: 137463, member: 360&quot;]It&#039;s a lovely thing. </p><p><br /></p><p>A flashlight or torch like this wouldn&#039;t date much past the 1920s. Vest-pocket stuff has been popular for ages. They were items meant to be clipped onto your pocket watch chain. Vesta-cases, propelling pencils, dip pens, keys, fountain pens, seals...I&#039;ve never heard of a vest-pocket FLASHLIGHT before, but it doesn&#039;t surprise me that something like this would exist. Just keep in mind that by the end of the 20s, this stuff was going out of style really fast, as pocketwatches started giving way to wristwatches, for men. By the 1930s this market had almost entirely dried up.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
