Description from the seller
Wonderful antique acetylene bicycle lamp from the MIRA brand, dating presumably from the 1920s-1930s.
This period model features a sizeable front headlamp with reflector, an elegant nickel-plated metal frame, and a cylindrical reservoir for carbide lighting.
The MIRA brand is clearly visible, embossed on the upper part of the headlamp.
This lamp retains several characteristic elements:
- Large front headlamp with reflector.
- Colored side cabochons, red and green.
- Cylindrical carbide reservoir.
- Top finned valve for adjusting the water.
Articulated mounting support for attaching to the bicycle.
The overall piece shows a beautiful antique patina, with signs of use, superficial oxidation and time marks that attest to its authenticity.
This lamp is an interesting collectible for enthusiasts of vintage bicycles, early 20th-century cycling accessories, and vintage industrial objects.
Condition: Old, with visible wear and patina. Functionality not tested and not guaranteed. Sold as a collectible item.
Careful shipping with reinforced protection of the headlamp and fragile parts.
