Dollar Tree Flashlight - Waterproof (old style)

Incandescent light with 2 AA batteries required to run it.  It served the purpose for a short term throwaway light that you might take with you on a boat or camping.  At the price of $1 or $2 you could hand out a light to everyone in the camp.

I bought this about a decade ago.  It worked but I wonder if it really was waterproof since I never tried it for that by dunking it.  Also, the rubber handles on these turned sticky.  I had a number of these that must have deteriorated in the heat.  Made in China.  So the materials back then are suspect and probably were not tested for durability.  What do you expect for a dollar, right.

Update: None of these worked after a few years of just sitting around.
