WINCHESTER BRONZELITE - 4/14/2010 9:00:30 PM    lepew62   Posts: 266 Joined: 9/5/2009 Status: offline I found this while poking around a dump the other day. It is 8 1/2" long and is made of solid bronze. It is missing the bottom, other than that it is complete. The switch and blink button still function. It was made by Winchester, unsure of what year. It reads just beneath the switch. Bronzelite, solid bronze, use winchester superseal batteries. I thought it was brass at first, I did not know they made a bronze flashlight. I thought it was interesting thing to find. I actually found several other flashlight parts, they were coroded though. Attachment (1) Post #: 1

I saw the Pickers show and I thought there appraisal of $50 was super high for what looked like a common Winchester aluminum flash light worth about $15 to $20 tops in my book, but I an not a flashlight expert or have thier connections. _____________________________ Please visit my Ebay Bottle Store http://stores.ebay.com/CobaltMoon Old Antique Bottle Website http://oldantiquebottle.com (in reply to ncbred) Post #: 3

I have never tried to clean bronze, afraid I may do more harm than good. I might throw it out on ebay and see what happens. (in reply to lepew62) Post #: 8
