Description

This racoon hunter's flashlight has a long gold and brass handle. Racoon hunters would often stay out long into the night. A long handle with room for plenty of batteries was necessary for optimal power. This particular flashlight takes eight D batteries. The owner of this well-used flashlight has added a leather string to hang over the shoulder and neck for easy carrying, allowing a hand or two free for a rifle.
