''Neverout'' Oil Lamps for the WWI Columbia and Great Western Military Bicycle
Just saw your thread on military lamps. I have nearly 100 carbide lamps still to go through that I have not advertised yet. Contact me via phone or my email address below if there's anything in particular you are looking for.

This one is Ebay France (no connection with the seller) and has been heavily butchered, but the price reflects that, and it might be useful for spares?
A previous owner has heavily modified it, including cutting part of the base off to make a clamp.

Just received another (small) variation on this lamp. All military lamps I've had until now have had fairly thinly applied green paint. On this one, the paint is thicker, and a milky coffee (Café au Lait) brown. It's certainly the original paint, it's surprising how much it can vary.
It's missing the base, does anyone have a lead on a spare (of any colour?)
I'm trying to make an effort not to buy these, but this one defeated me because a lot of the early ones not marked USA, and just painted green have had the original paint removed, and the brass polished up.
Also, it's the first military one I've seen which may have it's original bracket.
Well, those are my excuses. (-:
And it's just battered enough to put on my imperfect bike (-:
I shouldn't have tempted fate with the photos of the lamp above:
PROHIBITED OBJECT Hello Adrian,
The purchase you recently made under the International Delivery Service with rkm4709 could not be completed.

Well, that's big of them. I especially like the 'No Appeals, and we're doing you a favour' bit.
Oh well. )-:
It's not the first time, though. I had one blocked once before with the double clamp. One of the guys on here (sorry, I forget who) eventually bought it from wherever these get sent for resale, so it's worth keeping an eye out for it.
