Original U.S. WWII USALITE TL-194 “Jungle Flashlight” in Original Box by Electric Manufacturing Corp. - Rare

Original Item. Only One Available. This is a very scarce TL194 Jungle Flashlight. This short-bodied single-cell torch was designed for use in jungle theatres and when manufactured by the United States Electric MFG Corporation was marketed under the brand name, 'USALITE'. The battery is inserted through the bulb end and the domed lens is then screwed on. The torch is activated by turning the domed head which establishes a contact with the battery. Within the lens is a metal shield that prevents light rays from showing upwards.

This example is in great shape and comes in its original box, which is marked on the side:

ONE TL194
USALITE
Jungle Flashlight
Order No. 10075

The box has some damage, but to find it intact at all is quite rare. It is not currently functional.
