Alan, those appear to be well-preserved specimens.

I still use several of the C-cell types.

Just to complete the picture, here is a Ray-O-Vac Sportsman which uses 5 
D-cells.  It belonged to my wife's Dad, and worked well for many years, 
but seems to have a problem in the switch circuit now.  I included a 
dime for scale.
