Hub lamp for ordinary

[oldmtrcyc]

From a pile of junk I bought today... a very nice hub lamp. I have had a few hub lamps over the last 25 years of collecting bikes, but must say this is a new one to me. Any thoughts would be greatly appreciated!

Might be the very rare pedal lamp , with that mounting bracket

It is slightly smaller than the Hub lamps that I have had in the past.

It is a G&J Hub Lamp. Here is an 1890 ad from a Bearings issue with three different Hub Lamps.

Awesome!!! Thank you. I think the Hub lamp would work much better than them the pedal lamp. Seems like your foot would get a bit warm with the pedal lamp and probably why it was so rare.

I'm considering selling this. I already have one on my 54" Columbia, though it is not as nice as this one. But it's been on there for decades. Thanks for identifying this, BicyclerNY!
