[mojjax]

I got this Baco flashlight at rare November garage sale yesterday . I can not find any info on it . I guess its an odd brand . I checked with the Flashlightmuseum.com Web site ......nothing .

I'm guessing it's from the 50's ? Did Baco make other stuff ? any info will be greatly appreaciated !

That is an almost exact copy of several models of Eveready flashlights from the early 1960's. I found one like it at a bottle dump last year. I Googled Eveready flashlights,found quite a collection on someones website to date mine.

Found this :

They were active in the period from the end of WW-2 to the mid 1950's. There were a great many start-up companies right after WW-2 which did not survive long for many reasons."

Baco also made an all-metal small press camera.

Not sure on this one. There were many imports from Hong Kong that replicated the Art Deco style of Eveready in the 1950-60s. This may be one of them. Here is a version of the Eveready:
