Perfecta - Bicycle light - 1910

For sale is an exceptionally well-preserved and rare antique carbide bicycle lamp from the renowned German traditional brand Herm. Riemann (Chemnitz-Gablenz), model “PERFECTA.” This historical collectible dates from the turn of the century up to the 1920s. The lamp is in a remarkable, unrestored original condition and stands out for its completeness and excellent substance. Special features & condition in detail: • Housing: The original nickel plating is fantastically preserved and shines excellently. There are no deep dents, cracks, or structural damage. • Imprint: The model name “PERFECTA” is clearly, sharply, and perfectly legibly impressed on the back of the headlamp housing. • Glass & lenses: The large curved front glass (swing cover) as well as the two side position lenses (jewelry lenses) in light blue/green are original, completely intact, and show no cracks or chips. • Technology & inner workings: The upper water-drop valve with the finely toothed adjustment wheel moves smoothly. The water tank closure clamp closes cleanly. Inside the headlamp is the original, undamaged double nozzle (burner) made of soapstone/ceramic. • Mounting: On the back, equipped with the original, fully functional parallelogram spring holder for dampening on the bicycle handlebars (shows age-related surface patina/flash rust). An absolute highlight for collectors of antique bicycles (such as high-wheelers or early touring bikes) or as an exclusive historical decorative object. The numerous detail photos are an integral part of the condition description.
