One collectable vintage Retro White Elephant Tin Chromed Battery Torch from Shanghai China.

This is probably from the late 1960s or early 1970s not sure. If you can offer any information please do!

Is in fair condition. There is no rust or corrosion.

Requires batteries. It uses two C size batteries. None will be supplied. May require bulb. Comes complete with lens.

Has press down on/off button to allow Morse code communications as well as slide on / off button. Both work in good order.

Has a hook to allow for hanging in tent etc.

Dimensions are approximately 180mm long by 60mm at wide head with body being 25mm wide.

All I have been able to find out about it is that a company in China used to make really good batteries, that where sold around the world. The company decided to change its name to the English translation "White Elephant", their sales dropped and I assume they went broke, which shows it's all in a name.

Good luck happy collecting.

This collectors piece will be treated as such when packing including bubble wrap and significant protection to ensure your investment is received in good order.
