Vintage circa WWII era Official Boy Scouts of America Flashlight by USALITE, well used working newest condition

newest This Boy Scout flashlight shows it age for sure. USALITE was one of several contractors making these lights for not only the BSA but also the military. Though not officially so, the Boy Scouts could be considered a paramilitary organization and as such the production of their equipment during the war could be justified as the skills they learned as boys could come in handy as soldiers. The light does work but has intermittent bright and dim for an unknown reason. It has been lightly cleaned and the contacts inside have been cleaned as well.
