If I remember my history correctly, when matches first became commercially available they were called Lucifers (or may have been a brand name )

Interesting. Thank you for the info. Barry

I'm sure you know this, but some of our younger members may not know that Lucifer is old school name for the Devil, fire and brimstone and all that, and so a perfect name for matches. Name carried thru for lighting of a different type.

Aluminum Bronze lugs from a Chilion M.D. Stebbins. Even has some of the hickory left inside it.

The stainless bicycle air pump you see is from Germany. It was pulled out of a bombed out factory during WWII according to the PO. Yes, it still works.

Shell of this Sturmey hub has been cut away to show the workings. Perhaps counter top display? Still spins and works.

Never saw another one of these before. It may not be rare or sought after or even considered an accessory... (Shimano 2 speed hub in foreground.)
