Bantam flashlights are collected for their character content. They are the same flashlight with different decoration. Zippo lighter collectors look for rare content on their lighters and these are some of the rarer Bantam flashlights. Bantams were popular during the 1950s through 1970s. I remember them from my youth when my dad took me to the circus and the lights went down, the spotlights came on, and all the kids in the stands started swinging their Bantam lights in circles.
