AI-assisted summary

Description from the seller

Antique carbide bicycle lamp with colored signal lenses

This type of lantern was used on bicycles and sometimes on early vehicles for forward lighting.

The lamp is made of nickel-plated metal with an original mounting system allowing it to be mounted on the handlebars.

It has several colored faceted glass panes (red and green) serving as lateral signals, as well as a wide front glass.

The upper cover opens to access the lighting system. The design is typical of carbide lamps used before the widespread adoption of electric lighting.

The object shows a beautiful antique patina, consistent with its age, which gives it strong decorative character for collectors of vintage cycling or industrial objects.
Origin: Germany or Central Europe.
Brand: Aluen
Dimensions: height 18 cm, width 8 cm, depth 13 cm, glass width 9 cm
Careful and rapid packaging
