This is a true piece of cycling history—a very early example of an antique carbide (acetylene) bicycle lamp, the "Electro" Model C. Carbide lamps were a major technological leap for night riding at the turn of the 20th century.
Key Features & Historical Significance:
* Era: Dates to the late 19th century, featuring clear patent dates of 1896 (x3) and 1897 on the base, establishing it as one of the earliest designs for acetylene illumination.
* Branding: Marked "Electro" on the sides and "Model C" on the bottom.
* Side Crystals: Features original red and green crystal (gem) signal lenses on the sides, which are in surprisingly good condition and free of damage.
* Internal Components: The internal gas burner appears to be intact.
* Functionality: The lamp has not been tested for its ability to produce acetylene gas and is not guaranteed to be functional.
* Dimensions: Approximately 6" tall x 3-1/2" wide x 6" deep.
