Hawthorne Carbide Lamp

[MazdaFlyer]

Found an old carbide lamp with the mounting bracket. Appears to have never been cleaned up, accumulated patina.

I loosened the clamp to flip the bracket over to mount on my Gravel Grinder build. The Nickel plating under the bracket looked shiny like new.
If I can figure out a way to LED light it without doing anything to the structure, I think that’s a future plan. If I remove the lens it might be an easy modification. I have a kerosene lamp that needs a lens. We’ll see.

Now on 1930 rat bike. Flipping bracket worked like a charm.
