Vidor Flashylight Flashlight
This is a flashlight. It is dated designed 1988 and we acquired it in 1993. Its medium is molded plastic. It is a part of the Product Design and Decorative Arts department.
Rayovac, founded as The French Battery Company, was best known for its development of heavy-duty batteries, including silver oxide button cells and the first all zinc chloride battery, and for the flashlights that housed them. Introduced in 1984, the “Workhorse” flashlight carried a lifetime warranty, making it the company’s longest-lasting product to date. Rayovac, with Petterson, gave the durable favorite a makeover in 1988, producing this “Vidor Flashylight,” an eye-popping neon-cased version of the “Workhorse.”
