Another 100 + year old Delta #7 hand lantern . This one is a little different than most, this one has a square shaped bail handle, all others I have are round. This one has a hanging hole in the flat strap handle to hang on a nail , only one I’ve seen like it .An all chrome Delta PowerLite , these are always painted two tone silver or gray . I’m thinking since this is a “NOVO” Delta 1964 - 68 it might have been produced to commemorate either the 64 or 68 year when NOVO owned Delta.
Also the only all chrome PowerLite I’ve ever seen, but I do have an all solid brass Delta PowerLite I got about 6 years ago I also believe was made in limited quantities to commemorate an anniversary or when many Delta products were made of brass

Congrats on that cool Wasp! Got question on the serial since this one has a large head badge. Are there 5 numbers or 6 in the serial? Could it be a 1957 with the C1 five number serial since it doesn't have the small badge?

57 numbers

Thanks for the add. Didn't get this bike this week, but it looked like a good place to share. This is my very first bike. I still remember my dad holding the fender as I learned to ride. It sat unused for a long time. Finally had the local bike shop put new tires and pedals on it. My brother used it for a while and was hard on it. I swear it rides better than my newer bikes. I'm so excited! Now to see if I can find the chain guard.
