A couple of years ago, I made a bunch for a telegraph display and a crank
telephone - fairly easy to make.

I made an adaptor for my one and only Navy battle lantern. I used a
couple of D cell holders from Radio Shack. That also allows me to use a
different lamp if I choose. I kept the wooden spacers for the large
cells so I could use them if I ever found any new ones. When I was a kid
it seems to me they were very easy to get and not expensive.
The crank phones were out in the Michigan countryside in a place we
went every summer. All those phones were installed by basketball
players. I had to stand on a chair to use one.
