Blimey, I saw this on an old auction and saved the pic. I SO recall novelty torches like this, probably got at Christmas.
I may have even have had a clown face!
I certainly remember some monsters faces that clipped on the front of the torch back in the Sixties. The torch wasn't very big I don't think.
Ring any bells readers?
I had a clown face torch back in the 1960s. Just not sure if it was exactly the same as the one in your photos, but I am sure it had a red body. I think two C or D batteries ? I think the head was made from a very hard, brittle plastic, with soft, sprayed on details.
ReplyDeleteYes, the heads were brittle plastic as you say Paul. Great fun and such a simple idea. My Grandkids adore even basic torches and often look round the house for spiders with them!
