    Solar Carbide Bicycle Lamp w/Clamp
    I forgot that I had this shiny gem sitting out on a shelf in the garage.
    Solar made by the Badger Brass Mfg. Co. out of Kenosha, WI.
    Pat. Feb, 4, 1896 to Feb. 7, 1899.
    The lamp is in pretty decent shape and includes the mounting bracket.
    The glass jewels and front lens are in great shape.
    Pellets of carbide were placed in the bottom & water was
    placed in the top. A valve controlled the release of the
    water into the carbide chamber. As water hit the carbide, a flammable gas was created which, when struck with a
    lighter, ignited to create a light.

    Thanks Much for Looking!!
