*Illuminated M.G. Sign. An electric-powered, ceiling-hanging showroom sign, with red scripted wording, 'Safety MG Fast' against a white plastic/Perspex panel. A painted metal box holds the strip lighting and suspension hooks. Tested and working, but offered without an electrical guarantee. 36 x 14-inches (1)
*A c1900 'The Little Fireball' oil-powered bicycle lamp. Patented by George Polkey and Sir A. J. Loftus in 1893, one unique feature at this time, was the spring clip that held a vesta against the wick, in readiness for lighting. This example is the smaller of the two sizes manufactured. Albeit offered in the cycling press until 1905, this is a rare lamp today, particularly as the glass has not cracked and all fittings appear in place. Apparently in working order. With much over-painting, it would restore to a good standard. 13cms high (1)

Fitted with an 1884 patented metal hub bearing, suitable for a 1/2-inch axle hub, the lamp comes complete with its correct oil reservoir and mechanical wick holder, threaded rear reflector, sliding side window, tension adjusters, the afore-mentioned metal hub and its 'lighting facilitator' fitted into its front door mounted holster. A middle size oil lamp, the glasses are intact and the body shell is in excellent condition, albeit now painted green. The internally fitted tensioner grips are missing but are easily replaced. 21cms high, suitable for fitting into a 52 or 54 inch driving wheel (1)
