Lot 388
Four Open-Fronted Acetylene Gas Lamps. Of mainly French manufacture, the lamps represent a style and robustness that was popular in the early years of the 20th century. Because of the pressure of gas, the requirement for a front glass was not deemed necessary, particularly as the brightness of the light emitted was restricted by trying to focus it. In essentially complete condition, they make an interesting addition to the bicycle lamp oeuvre. The tallest 8½-inches (22cm) (4)

Much admired by lady riders who took their exercise riding in public parks of an evening and wanted to be noticed!
