Wore out three sets of tires already!
I first saw this light on a postwar Schwinn Continental (owned by Mark Mattei). It was commented that it was a rare light kit. I had been looking off and on for a while and never saw one pop up until I saw a NOS one pop up recently. After the purchase I started doing some research and noticed on here there was the same light kit on another postwar continental. In that thread @schwinnderella commented that he had one that recently sold (I must have missed that auction because I would have bought it).
I know it is just two examples of this Lucifer light kit on postwar continentals, but it's not all that common to see light kits on 40s lightweights. Was it just the go-to of the time or did they have some thing going with Schwinn or dealers? Once the 50s hit it was Miller light kits on all the Travelers and some lightweights got the SA light + dynohub kit.
