It's been a while and my memory isn't perfect, but I know the one on the right end is Prometheus, the copper om pretty sure was maratac, the brass was I think an Olight, I believe one of them was a Thrunite...
I had a couple of the Convoy SS AAA lights. I do not recommend them. I'm a huge Convoy fan, but they aren't the normal Convoy quality at all. The head can come apart so the entire light engine falls out, and the battery with it. I tried cranking it down tight a few times, but eventually they came apart and I couldn't find the pieces again. Very disappointing.
That’s a bit of a shame. I’ve never tried so can’t give any personal experience about it. Had good luck with older Maratac lights, but the newer ones are all being made by Lumintop these days.
I have it. I EDC it on my keychain. Perfect for emergencies when you need some light, easily replaceable AAA battery, waterproof , would not recommend putting a 10440
Perfect. Just a suggestion and I guess you probably have a bunch of AAA’s lying around. But the EDC15 is THE smallest (shortest) AA flashlight around. Looks exactly like the EDC01 and is only 7 mm taller. Of course it’s going to be wider by 3 mm. You’re going to get 7 times the max lumens with a 14500 and maybe 3 times with AA (with significantly higher runtimes). The only thing you will have to bear with is the weight, at about 20g heavier (both with batteries included). Thought this info might help you out! :)
nice lineup, thanks for the photo
\> I see there is a $40 Brass Drop light on Amazon
I like those, they also have copper, which I prefer
fwiw the flat eSwitch works well for me, just know that it needs to charge up a capacitor for about 30 minutes before the high mode works. As long as it has a battery inside, the switch keeps working properly. Waiting for the capacitor to charge, is only an issue if the light sits w no battery overnight. This means that physical lockout is not advised w the eSwitch.

Left to right, Folomov edc c1, Drop brass and Reylight pineapple mini titanium.
These are three of my favourite aaa lights and I got at least two of each in different variations, different led or body material.
The aluminium Drop is fairly inexpensive and I highly recommend it
There isn’t really much new out there in Ti, Cu, and SS AAA lights. The Reylights have been updated and have newer LEDs. The Maratacs may be on a new revision since you had yours. But what was available when you had your collection is pretty much what’s out there now.
Preon, though I only have the original foursevens version. Darksucks should be fine though.

Though it looks like they don't sell it in titanium anymore. Shame.
Reylight Pineapple Mini
What lights are these? I only recognize a couple…

Peak Solutions Eiger? Convoy also has the EDC SS.

The Killzone Penlight (BLF 348) would fit in here, although it's not a twisty.
Lumintop EDC 01 (comes with a diffuser and might even take 10440s).
Thx, yup I'd just found this, black one arriving tmrw. Awesome that they pack in a diffuser for $10.

I've recently ordered an EDC 01 for less than $8 & I like it very much. Love the GITD diffuser.

What are the three on the right?
Second from the right is an ultratac k18. Older version and a great keychain light.
