Whoops, slipped on a banana peel and slid right through to July 1900 which had this "Ever Ready" flashlight sold by the Paris dependency of the AENMC - five years before they renamed The American Ever Ready Company.

Interesting story this, how the British dependency became independent and then bought the American former parent.

Reminder that the AA dry cell was introduced in 1907 and the AAA in 1911 - they are by far less modern that one would generally think, thinken't they.
