The best is the original however I believe all variations were made in Japan including the Ikoblitz. Tower (Sears) and many others are easily found.
Heiland invented the Tilt-a -Mite. Honeywell owned them for a while along with Pentax, same era.

It's really a genius design that can take 3 flash bulb types without adapters. AG 1&3, Mini Bayonet (M2,3,5)and Standard Bayonet (P5,25) flash bulbs all fit in the same place!
It folds to pocket size, tilts and has an excellent reflector.
It is a BC (battery/capacitor) design which makes the lousy batteries of that time last a long time. It also has a flash bulb check button that confirms a good bulb, capacitor charge and nearly assures function.
NOS abounds on eBay selling today for the same price as new. I have 3 of them.
The battery is available made up of 1.4 volt common button batteries and will cost more than the flash. Shop carefully. Another way is to buy button batteries by the 100 pack and tape/solder DIY.
The capacitor is usually good but also easily replaced.
Did I miss anything?
Yes, a vinyl cover is often with them for 2 purposes. One side is clear for safety of subject and obverse blue for color film with clear non blue B&W flash bulbs.
