USALite Purse & Pocket Spotlights

U.S. Electric Mfg. Corp. (1920-1960's)

In this gallery - I'm showing the USALite Purse/Pocket Spotlights, in nine different colors, (found another color) and two body styles. I also have three different boxes to show you. These work using two AA batteries, and made from catalin plastic, (that's was what I was told).

Take a good look at the boxes. You will notice the pocket light, (on the box) is the same style as the brown and black pocket light. This is a different style from all the other pocket lights. The white light has - International Show Company etched, (not a decal) on the side. Chances are it was a give away to promote their shoe company.

USALite black purse/spotlite with the box, (which is different from the other boxes) instructions and batteries. This light is the same as the brown light seen below and to the right. Another nice fine for this USALite collector!

You will notice the brown light is just a little shorter, than the other pocket lights. Also, the metal piece is shorter too, and dosen't wrap around the end. The other lights have a patented number printed on the end, with USALite printed on it. The brown pocket light does not have any pat. number or dates on it. USALite is printed on the back side of the metal piece, which has no clip, (the others have the clip) to open for putting the batteries in it. The other difference is, the location of the switch button. You should be able to see that in the gallery below, (look for the red & brown lights).

The instructions for the purse/spotlite was still in the box! I've seen the boxes before but not with instructions. How did it survive? Very nice fine for this USALite collector!

Final Word. The hunt continues for the orange color pocket spotlight, and other colored pocket spotlights not seen here. Also different boxes other than the three seen here - are also on my list. If any of you have one, or know of any different boxes for these lights, please send me an email. Photos are welcome.
