craig_pickrall Posted February 3, 2009 Share #2 Posted February 3, 2009 There are several threads here that cover this light. It is USN and was attached to a life jacket or life raft at night to send a signal to rescue vessles or planes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Salvage Sailor Posted February 4, 2009 Share #5 Posted February 4, 2009 There were several different model types but the light is basically the same for all of them (similar shape and dimensions). Takes (1) D Cell battery. We had them clipped to our orange 'Mae West' kapok life preservers from the 1940's - 1950's and also to our grey or orange inflatibles that we wore on a belt during the Vietnam/Cold War era.
