In the 1970’s you really needed this. A safety light for when your car broke down or just an extra light in the car when needed. It operates with a plug you needed to insert in the lighter socket, working from the car battery that way. In the original box that has some signs of discoloration from the sun and age. The flash light itself is hardly used. It has a red and clear lens and a black protective cap as well. The box measures ca. 13cm or 5 inches long.
