I think I remember the light you are referring to. I believe it runs on 4-AA’s? I remember it was a cool flashlight, changing into a lantern by sliding it open. Lanterns are great for camping.
I have to look around in my basement……
Welcome to the BLF’s!
OKAY!!!
WHOA HANG ON, LET ME TURN MY HEARING AID DOWN!
Okay, that's better. Now what was that again?
The round one or the rectangular one or the big (D-cell or 6V?) one?

Sorry for the all caps guys, lol, I was multitasking doing work at the same time and when I do work from home all of our documentation has to be in all caps, sometimes I forget that the real world doesn’t use all caps, my bad
Back to the topic, does anyone have any of these flashlights laying around? Eveready sport gear lantern and flashlight
GJ, I’m looking for the round one
Might be one here, it doesn't specify and there's no photo. 58th from the top, $9.89, 'Call for availability'.
You can still edit the OP 
Too late for the name though, mister LARRYBRADFORDSMITH

i had one as a kid.
it survived till it got stolen out of the bed of my truck.
i will update if i find a source.
i had mine in the 70’s so it must have had a long production for amazon to have stocked them
Wow, forgot about this thread.
I wonder if Mister LarryBradfordSmith ever found his lantern.
I have one of these brand new unused. PM if interested.
I just found my second one at a thrift shop, it takes 4 D batteries and I replaced the bulb with a Dorcy 4.8-6.0 volt led replacement which means that it should run for a couple of weeks on a set of batteries.
we have a large thrift shop here that always has a big box of flashlights.they are all $0.99.
occasionally something interesting shows up.
if one like you want appears i will grab it.
Hey All,
I found this post when I was looking for a replacement for my father’s 8215WB-E. (the smaller round light/lantern that holds 4 AA batteries) They are fragile in the battery area and his broke while trying to replace batteries. Since I broke it I took it upon myself to find another. They turned out to be quite rare. I eventually found a very nice used one on Ebay and, yes, I paid too much ($40) but you know sometimes if something is correct it is the principle of it and ignore the $. ( I also paid $20 for a glow in the dark “Spooky Pirate” toy from Capt’ Crunch.)
And it is an awesome little light.
Well, now, I have come into possession of a couple NOS ones. If there is anyone out there looking to replace their light and only this one will do I will list them on Ebay. My user name is At-Height. I also have some parts and pieces from the broken one if someone is trying to repair their light.
Thanks,

Pretty sure a private message to Flashpilot would have been easier ..OTOH he probably doesn't have a
Spooky pirate toy .
Although I'm pretty sure he has a big selection of hello kitty
