Description
From the sellerThis is an antique brass carbide bicycle lamp, likely manufactured by the Badger Brass Company in the late 19th or early 20th century. It operates by dripping water onto calcium carbide to produce flammable acetylene gas, which is then ignited to provide illumination. The lamp features faceted colored lenses on the sides, known as "jewels," designed to alert approaching vehicles from the left or right.
