MIRA - Bicycle light - 1920

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.

Estimate:£6.69
