Flashlight (USA)
This is a flashlight. It is dated ca. 1980 and we acquired it in 1993. Its medium is chrome-plated metal, plastic. It is a part of the Product Design and Decorative Arts department.
The use of bright red-orange plastic, rather than metal, for elements like the bulb housing and the on/off switch make the flashlight easier to spot and operate during an emergency.
