Hellensen Lamps

[Jim Burrill]

About two years ago, I stumbled across one on ebay from the UK.
It had been listed by the maker - CEAG, no use of the word 'Hellensen" or Hellenson"

NOS with a tag, wartime dated, only bidder and got it for 9 pounds plus shipping.

A fellow restorer made up a fake battery of cardboard, markings and then waxed the box. It had a "trap door" to allow it to be opened to access a modern D-cell plastic carrier and some wire.

Fits nicely in it's rack in the turret of the Humber Mk4. Works when I toggle the switch!

So simple in construction, would think What Price Glory could get them made in India for not much money. less than 50 US$ I would think, but he would need some idea of market.

I suppose we could send one to India ( a rusty relic! ) and just have a run of say 20 made.

Ideas?
