In the early 1930's, a style of battery lamp known as a wall light became popular. Wiring in homes and buildings (those that had electricity) had many areas without power such as closets, stairwells, and porches. A battery powered light was a novel solution for dark areas. Eveready was the major manufacturer of wall lights (known as "Wireless Electric Wallite"), though several other companies produced them as well. Pifco made a stamped steel light in England, and a rectangular Bakelite light with a timer switch made by an unidentified manufacturer was sold in the US around that time. The Eveready Wallites were produced only in 1931 and 1932, and probably discontinued due to high manufacturing costs and the Depression.

Eveready made three models, all made of stamped steel with an white milk glass lens, and a pull chain on/off switch. The boxes were printed in three colors; black, red and blue. The box touted their usefulness. Ideal for use wherever occasional illumination is required.

Model 4756 was a two D-cell oval light produced in 1931-1932, available in a black or ivory finish with a brass trim ring and nickel plated trim ring. The milk glass lens was either smooth, or had an raised rosette design in the center. However, this light was first made and sold by Delta Electric of Marion, IN, in 1928. It was available in a brown finish, and marketed as a light for use in automobile interiors, either on the ceiling or side pillars. Presumably, Eveready purchased the tooling from Delta. The lights are identical, except that the Delta light used a slide switch while Eveready substituted a pull chain. And of course the wording on the brass trim ring was changed from Delta at the top and Marion, Indiana on the bottom to Eveready, and Made in U.S.A. They sold for $1.75 with batteries.
