Old Style: Director-Lite

The standard two D cell plastic safety flashlight is a work of beauty and technology.   The simplicity of the design and the ergonomic perfection is why these lasted for decades as the standard of functionality.

Here is a photo of a one of the standard versions.  I haven't been able to find any on ebay or a web search so the remaining ones out there just don't rate sharing.  As for age, I haven't been able yet to locate the year of manufacture so I'll guess at the 1960's-70's.

The current version of a 2 D cell flashlight that comes closest to the old style is the MagLite.
