This is a flashlight manufactured in France during the first half of the 20th century. Both the lower section of the cylindrical body and the base disk are stamped with the French text: “LAMPE ‘CARTOUCHE’ BTEE S.G.D.G.” The phrase “LAMPE ‘CARTOUCHE'” translates literally to “cartridge lamp,” referring to its cylindrical shape, while the latter part, “BTEE S.G.D.G,” denotes a patent system used in France from AD 1844 to AD 1968.

This flashlight has been modified by a collector, who repurposed the battery compartment into a coin storage container, showcasing its versatility and continued utility as a collectible item.

這是一支公元20世紀上半葉，法國製造的手電筒。筒身下方和底座圓盤皆有打印法文「LAMPE “CARTOUCHE” BTEE S.G.D.G」字樣。「LAMPE “CARTOUCHE”」直譯為「筒狀燈」，後半段的「BTEE S.G.D.G」則是一種公元1844至1968年間，於法國使用的一種專利制度。這一支手電筒還被收藏者改造，將原先放置電池的部位改為零錢的收納筒。
