Vintage Eveready Captain Chrome Ribbed Metal 2D Flashlight #T58p
Description
Add a classic piece of mid-century Americana to your collection or emergency kit with this authentic vintage Eveready Captain 2D cell flashlight. A staple of mid-20th-century design, this heavy-duty flashlight features a robust metal barrel styled with iconic horizontal ribbing for an enhanced grip. The body is finished in a bright chrome plating, accented by a durable black sliding switch mechanism and the distinct, rivet-secured "Eveready Captain" logo emblem near the base. Engineered for utility, the bottom cap includes a fold-out metal loop designed for hanging from a tool belt, backpack, or workshop hook.
The full front profile of the flashlight is shown in image_7977f3.jpg, showcasing the ribbed body design, black thumb switch, and the factory logo plaque. The reverse side of the chrome barrel is displayed in image_7977bb.jpg, showing the clean lines of the cylindrical grip. The bottom screw cap is captured in image_7977b7.jpg with its integrated metal hanging ring extended. A direct overhead view of the bezel head is documented in image_79779d.jpg, detailing the transparent lens and internal bulb configuration. A flat-lay measurement photo using a precision ruler is provided in image_797798.jpg, establishing that this heavy-duty portable light measures just under 8 inches in total length.
Key Features:
Classic Ribbed Chrome Body: Styled with deep horizontal ridges along the metal barrel to maximize grip stability and provide timeless retro appeal (image_7977f3.jpg).
Authentic Branding: Outfitted with a prominent, vintage black-and-silver "Eveready Captain" emblem riveted securely to the lower body (image_7977f3.jpg).
Fold-Out Hanging Ring: Features an integrated metal utility loop built into the tail cap that folds flat when not in use (image_7977b7.jpg).
Standard 2D Power: Built to run on two standard D-cell batteries, making it an excellent option for both nostalgic display and functional emergency backup power.
Condition
Used - Very Good Condition: This vintage flashlight has been tested and is in functional working order. The chrome finish shows an authentic, honest patina with minor surface scuffs, light pitting, and small spots of localized oxidation appropriate for its age, primarily around the upper neck and bezel ring (image_7977f3.jpg, image_7977bb.jpg). The black plastic slider switch operates smoothly and locks into place properly. The clear plastic lens has a visible diagonal hairline crack across the center, along with typical light surface scratching, but it remains structurally sound and firmly seated within the bezel cap (image_79779d.jpg). The internal battery compartment and contact springs are clean and free of destructive battery acid corrosion. (Note: Requires two D batteries, not included).
Shipping
Ships securely within two business days. The flashlight will be wrapped carefully in heavy-duty bubble wrap and shipped in a sturdy box to ensure the vintage chrome body and lens are thoroughly protected against impacts during transit.
