I had one of the incandescent ones when I was a kid. They even had a spare bulb in the back and you could change the focus of the beam. Of course completely obsolete by now as every phone flashlight is much brighter but back then it was pretty cool.
They were impressively bright for a light that size in those days. The trouble with mine is it became so unreliable it was useless (flaky contacts or switch, cleaning didn't help). I gave it to a collector who immediately recognized it as an unusual variant and was delighted, so it still made someone happy. I guess that is a win.
