I bought this Mercury pacemaker over a year ago. when I got it I noticed there was a lot of Holes drilled in the front fender and thought that was strange because I have only seen them with the front load Torpedo Light or the Mercury, western flyer fender ornament. so I did some research and found this ad showing a train light on the front fender.
so I got a Rollfast fender light and the guts of the light matched the holes exactly. I did see a girls bike with it on there and noticed it was different then the rollfast light but very similar. So I began the Hunt for this light by posting a want ad on this site and Scott the Owner of this site replayed saying this must be a Very Very Rare light because he never seen one before and never knew the Pacemaker came with a Light like this. I figured at that point it was going to be a Very Tough Piece to find. So This Past weekend went to a Local Collectors House and was digging threw some of his stuff routing threw draws and what not and Found My holy Grail of lights and Knew that was the one I needed that I thought I would never find and got even luckier that he sold it to me. So I brought it home and put it on the bike and found That it was in the same red primer state as the bike. so I called the guy I bought the bike from and asked him where He got the bike. He bought it from the same guy The other collector got a whole bunch of parts from several years ago and He didnt know that it took this special train light. so the bike and light have been separated for many years and this weekend found each other for the rest of there Life. Now Im on the hunt for the lens for this light.
This is the only Boys Mercury I have seen with this Train Light so How rare are these things. If you have a merc with one on please post.
