Herm. Riemann “Favorit” – Carbide/acetylene bicycle lamp – Chemnitz-Gablenz – circa 1900-1920 Old carbide/acetylene bicycle lamp made in Germany by Herm. Riemann, model “Favorit”, at Chemnitz-Gablenz. The original plaque is still present and clearly bears the inscription: “HERM. RIEMANN’S – FAVORIT – CHEMNITZ-GABLENZ” This lamp dates from the early 20th century, probably around 1900–1920, a period during which acetylene lamps were commonly used for bicycle lighting before the spread of electric lighting. Very beautiful model featuring a large circular reflector and a convex glass, with its cylindrical reservoir and mounting mechanism. The unit retains a nice antique patina and shows signs of use and oxidation consistent with its age. Manufacturer: Herm. Riemann Model: Favorit Origin: Chemnitz-Gablenz, Germany Era: circa 1900–1920 Type: carbide/acetylene bicycle lamp Materials: metal, glass Condition: vintage, unrestored, with patina and visible signs of wear in the photographs Operation: not tested A very fine collectible item for fans of old bicycles, historical lighting, automobilia and early 20th century industrial objects. Careful packaging and fast shipping
