Vintage Bicycle Lamp - Miller Popular Oil Lamp 1900 ' S - British Made
Item History & Price
| Reference Number: Avaluer:1194187 | Country/Region of Manufacture: United Kingdom |
Petite bicycle rear lamp in impeccable condition considering its almost 100 years old. Manufactured around 1910, Miller Birmingham stopped producing this particular model after 1923. Named the 'Popular Model', there is nothing to stop this lovely lamp being used today if required, easily fitted using a vintage rear lamp bracket/hinge.
Condition wise: Rolling wick, intact petrol chamber and a good spring to the fitting bracket. Aesthetically, the lamp has no ingrain or surface ...rust, only outer chrome peel which reveals a gunmetal grey/black patina in places. One of the side Red reflector glasses does have a hairline crack running through it (see pic 7). Small scratches on the front lens under close inspection. No loose bits, yesteryear repairs or dents.
Any further info or pics required, simply get in touch.
