    Could not pass this up at a recent estate sale on the dollar table -- does something like this have resale value? The graphics alone are pretty cool. Thanks.

    That's huge, :nurse: and in pretty good condition considering its contents.
    I would be inclined to remove the cover and save the graphics before a chemical reaction takes place.

    Doesn't it just floor you when impulse buys that you think might be headed for the garbage look like they'll sell for more than "real" things?

    Looks like the company name - Niagara Searchlight - might lead to more productive search results and more info. Kind of looks like they made marine lights of various types (searchlights as the name implies), and flashlights....But going to be hard to beat finding that ebay auction for interesting info.

    At first I thought you had an inch high miniature soup can.

    Don't touch it. If it has not corroded yet it's not about to. Just keep it dry.
