Unfired Butterfly Carbide Lamp

Postby Larry E. Matthews » Oct 4, 2011 4:31 pm

Here is another, unfired, BRASS caride lamp. Absolutely brand-new and never used. But, the hook where it hooks onto your helmet is missing. Should be easy to solder on another.

Butterfly was made in the 70s in Hong Kong, I think. I has the same outward appearance as the classic Guys Dropper.

As some of you know, my house was flooded here in Nashville in May, 2010. This lamp was in the Display Case, and when it got knocked over, the hook must have gotten torn off. Minor damage to the "shiny" fatory finish by the Flood, but it is still 95% there. This would make either a good display piece or a good caving lamp.

Price is $45, which includes postage.

Sale starts today, Tuesday, October 4 and ends next Monday, October 10 at 7 pm. One lamp only. First buyer gets the lamp.
