"Prince of darkness". Nice sounding name though. LOL
Thanks for looking in and commenting.
That is really cool.
Thank you Phonoboy.
That would look neat on my electric bike.
your father had a great bike lamp in his collection
Thank you fhrjr2 and hotairfan for commenting. I will post some more of my father's items soon.
Irish it appears he had a keen eye for collectables.
I just looked again at this way cool lamp, do I now notice that it also has red and green "port" & "starboard" side-lights -- that's even SO MUCH more cool if so?!!
Thanks fhrjr2, Dad was not a regular collector but every now and then he would see something he liked and pick it up. and had a particular liking for brass blow torches.
AnythingObscure, you are right about the side lights. One of them is hinged and opens down, I presume to allow the user to light the lamp with a match, although the front glass also hinges open for lighting.
