Hi, I have came across this torch, it was in my dad's toolbox.
There's no brand on it, it just says PAT PENDING BRITISH on the end of it, there's no switches on it, any info appreciated.
Thanks.

I've seen torches where the 'switch' is actually unscrewing or screwing in part of the torch. Maglite for example.

Yeah I have a newish torch which you turn on by just turning the end a bit, I can't even think what size battery the one I posted about would take.

Thanks for replying

Possibly a number 8 3v battery. Bob
