Powell And Hammer Citadel Bicycle Lamp(circa 1895)

Francis Powell and Francis Hammer set up their lamp business in 1885..on Chester Street,Aston Manor Birmingham..They were such a scurge to Lucas,that they were bought over by them in 1929..This citadel oil lamp is an early piece,as it does not feature the side windows..it is in amazing original condition..untouched and not polished to death..it retain it's original red glass lens,whose closing mechanism is working percently..the wick is in place and moves up and down freely..and the rear attachment moves freely..there are no holes in the oil well to report..this is a fabulous piece,that is 4 5 inches tall and I personally would not change a thing to it..these early oil lamps were used during WW1..registered post is available for an additional five euro.Thanks for looking please check out my other ads.
