Arapiles Historical Society
Leisure object - Old Bike Lamp
This is likely a carbide or oil-powered bicycle lamp, commonly used before electric bicycle lights became widespread. Carbide lamps worked by mixing calcium carbide with water, producing acetylene gas, which was ignited to create a bright flame. Oil lamps used kerosene or paraffin, with a wick and adjustable flame. These lamps were commonly used from the 1880s to the 1930s, before being replaced by battery-powered and electric lamps.This is a vintage bicycle lamp, likely from the late 19th to early 20th century, designed to be mounted on the front of a bicycle for nighttime visibility. Key features include: Metal construction, possibly brass or steel, now showing significant rust and corrosion. Compact, rounded body, typical of carbide or oil-powered lamps. A hinged front or side panel, which would have allowed access to the fuel chamber or wick. A small glass or mica window (now missing or broken) that would have allowed light to shine forward. Attachment bracket at the base, which would have been used to secure the lamp to a bicycle frame or handlebars. The lamp has a worn and aged appearance, with visible rust and missing components.bike, lamp, light, household item -
