Vintage Penlight Flashlights
1940's vintage Burgess Penlight cardboard display in good condition but not mint condition. Came with 8 brown penlights also in real good condition with no chips or scratches. I checked them and they all still work.
Store owners could hang this on a wall or display on a table top counter. The penlights were sold for 98 cents each, someone wrote that on the display. The penlights alone in mint condition would be worth around $20-$25 each. These penlights came in a few different colors including brass and all chrome.
Rare 1950's Olin Key-Chain Pencilite cardboard display. These could be considered as the 'Little Brother' to the penlights and works off 1 AAA battery. Has Olin Industries Inc. with Winchester and Bond trade marks on the bottom of the display.
Here's something interesting. Only one pencilite has a name on it. Are you ready? Winchester. NOTE: Olin display is for sale. $50.00. FREE shipping.
Interesting fact. Even the well known brands don't always have their brand name on their flashlights. No Olin trade mark or Olin name are on the lights.
If you'll notice the Burgess penlight with the red tip and the other penlight with the red tip in the gallery below looks the same. The only difference is the groves on the Burgess body. The Burgess penlight has their name printed on the pocket clip, the other one has no name on it.
