Hellesen manufacturers
Occasionally they turn up.
Found one in Holland, a green CEAG, new in the box and WD marked. They were also made by Davenset and Sunlite and I have seen an advert from Eveready showing the same lamp. The black ones seem not to be WD marked. Sometimes these lamps are listed as "railroad lamp". There seem to be more armored vehicles than lamps which might explain why these lamps can be expensive. Wartime records mention battery shortages for these lamps. Marco

Tim.
I am sure you will find one for a good price. Just keep your eyes out in as many places as possible. Quite a few things, military and antique, seem to sell in cycles. Military pocket watches about six years ago were readily available in good working order for near or under $125 Cdn and then suddenly spiked upwards of $300 Cdn for some reason. They can now be had for close to the earlier price once again. As they say, patience is a virtue! David
