Antique Bicycle & Carriage Kerosene Lamp — Bullseye Lens, Reflector Dish (Vintage & Found)

Vintage & Found · The Foundry

Before headlights. This is what you hung on the front.

An antique kerosene bicycle and carriage lamp — pewter-finish cast body, a large convex bullseye lens at the front backed by a polished brass reflector dish to throw the flame forward, small square signal windows on the sides, a ventilated crown, and Kerosene Oil embossed around the base. The whole assembly mounts on a pedestal base. This is the technology that lit the road before the automobile made it obsolete — late 19th to early 20th century, the moment when bicycles were serious transportation and carriages still outnumbered cars.

Good vintage condition with even pewter patina and minor surface wear consistent with age. Sold as a display piece. One of a kind.
