Recent finds

[Pushie Pirate]

A few recent finds, nice bicycle horn, now lives on my Rat. (Can any of you knowledgeable people date this gem?)

Small light. (And how old would this be, thanks?)

1934 Buick stop light, the top red section has stop in the lens, will go on my Rat bike.

These are off an early English car, for a future project.

Found these a while ago, just got a cheapy helmet as well , they go good together me thinks!

Can anyone date these, I am hoping maybe they are WW I fighter pilots googles!

 

[late for dinner]

Those are ALL very cool pieces. A lot of character individually and perfect together. Great finds Pirate.

That Horn is Awesome I like the Plunger lever Angle..

 

[Alienbaby17]

No idea on the age of those things.

I want to see a picture of you riding your bike with all of your new doo-dads on it sporting the helmet and goggles! :mrgreen: :mrgreen: :mrgreen:

Some recent scores, may build a military bike around the first one, Australian made dated 1944.

Job lot scored two of these 12volt and they work, hand held spots, can see these making it onto a bike as well.

You come up with some nice stuff Pirate!

Love all of it, I have the same sickness for that kind of stuff and have it all around my place.

More Pirating, couple of bikes pulled out of the metal skip, lucky for me!
Nice frame on this one she's metal and looks quite well made!

How's the gusset/plate on the front stem, does anyone know what she is?
Not sure if the MINI sticker relates to the bike but that is all that's on her?

This old school BMX again pretty sturdy frame, well stoked with the wheels!

Recently purchased this little gem, an Electra Huilhuli, broken front brake easy fix,
may part it out, got some great bits, may sell her, may keep her? Anyone know what
she would be worth in the states, in above average condition and rides nice.

Was given this the other day, pretty old school, never
been a fan of yellow but I'm not complaining!

 

[Pushie Pirate]

Pulled out of the metal skip at the local Waste Management Facility, she's a Melvern Star
(Aussie brand) Maxi BMX, nothing too special nice sprocket and plastic rims.

Also scored this mega valve, I suspect from a ship seeing I live in the middle of an ocean? The shaft is bent so I guess that's why it was replaced?

Finally a small lamp I suspect for a bicycle?

These ones where recent purchases, always liked old school spot lights.

Nice mesh covered jobs.

The pic of the bunch I believe nice domed yellow lens.

 

[LukeTheJoker]

Very nice!

Luke.

Like the WireLensed Foggers, The light is Absolutely Bicycle, made by a cheap company in the 60s or 70s I think,. They do pretty good on the open market, cleaned up.

 

[Pushie Pirate]

Recent score a cool old English made scale, nice patina.

 

[1oldbikelover]

Seems you have a good source to fuel your artistic talent.....your waste management facility! The price is right! Great job and nice collection. Keep up the great artwork

 

[Pushie Pirate]

Latest save from the metal skip at the local waste management facility, from what I can find on the net she looks like a 1976 model Peugeot ladies cycle, has some nice features and pretty much complete.

 

[LukeTheJoker]

Peugeot Mixte! Cool!

Luke.
