Circus Flashlight
Around 1970, I went to Madison Square Garden to see the circus, attending with my Cub Scout troop. All the scouts were insistent that we each buy a Barnum & Bailey Circus Flashlight so we could twirl them in unison and create a grand spectacle, which we did. I remember looking across the arena and seeing many other twirling red lights. The flashlight came attached to a shiny red plastic cord, which has disappeared from mine, shown here. Poor clown, he is quite faded after all this time. The light bulb still works!
