Description from the seller

This is a rare and beautifully looking antique carbide lamp or acetylene lamp (bicycle lamp). Manufactured in the early 19th century by Willocq Bottin in Brussels. See logo 'WB'. Type Belgia. Numbered '25'. It is made of brass which was later nickel-plated. The nickel layer is still original and for the age in good condition. With nice signs of use.
The green and red facet lenses including the front glass are original and intact.

The lamp runs on acetylene gas. This is produced by water (from the top tank) mixing with calcium carbide (in the bottom tank of the lamp).

Dimensions 19*14*9cm
