There aren’t many things made today that are higher in quality than their original counterparts from years, if not decades ago. That brand new LED powered flashlight you carry around everywhere for emergencies is bright, effective and energy efficient, but will it be around in a decade? Ok, probably, but it has no character. This Vintage Swiss Army Flashlight was actual army issue some two decades and for good reason. It does green light. It does red light. It does the obligatory clear, but it also does Morse code. Since it has a brand new battery, it’ll be good for service for quite some time.
