This is a great "Machine Age" flashlight made for Sears by Ray-o Vac. It dates from somewhere in the 1950s... It has a cool bifocal lens that can be set as either flood or spot light. As you can see it's working just fine!! Thanks for looking!

Thanks Kerry!!
This thanking everybody is a lot of work...lol.. Thanks again you guys!!
love that sleek space age design. I have a Homart bathtub faucet - didn't realize they made electrical products too.
Sears also sold a line of hardware and home merchandise (electric fans, water heaters, tools) which bore the brand name "Homart" all through the 40s and 50s... In the late 40's they even had a line of pre-fab homes you could buy called Homart Homes. Thanks for the love guys!!
