The Flashlight
The Flashlight
classification: paulistic-M
(behind the scenes image provided by Jess)
(behind the scenes image contributed by Jess)
The Flashlight appears very briefly and partially in The Comb and the Box when Dr. Martin Ruber is indoctrinated into the Order of the Reunification. The butt end of The Flashlight becomes visible momentarily as the goldfish moves aside. However, no part of it is identifiable. It appears again when Dr. Ruber reenters the temple room to steal the box. This time the butt end is clearly visible, but it is still not identifiable. Our positive knowledge of The Flashlight comes from a behind the scenes image contributed by Jess (ABQPROPGUY).
The authenticity of the flashlight in the Order temple room would be suspect if this were our only source of information. However, there is a second image that appears to confirm that the flashlight is an object and that the flashlight in the Order temple is the correct one. A second image contributed by Jess shows an informal meeting of the original Collectors cabal. There is a flashlight on the table that conforms to the image in the Order temple. Extensive analysis of this image supports this position:

The powers of The Flashlight, if they exist, are completely unknown.
The flashlight in the Order temple room is similar to vintage flashlights from Stellar, Swallow, or Winchester. The three are virtually indistinguishable. They are solid silver colored, 14 ½ inches long, and use 5 size D batteries:

Re: The Flashlight
Swallows brand is NOT a correct brand for the Flashlight.

Re: The Flashlight
The picture of the collectors seems like a Winchester but the order pictures are not of a Winchester brand.

Re: The Flashlight
If it is your own image, you have to have it hosted somewhere. Photobucket seems to be the most accommodating.
Send me a PM if you need help with that.
