[edit] Summary

A Giraffe Lamplighter Bicycle from 1898. The text reads:

Record Manufacturing Company
Giraffe Lamplighter Bicycle, 1898
The seat height of this unusually tall bicycle is over 7' tall, and this feature directly relates to the bicycles important function. During the late nineteenth century it was used by lamplighters to light gas street lamps. The inordinately long chain is more than three times the length of a conventional bicycle chain. Currently only one other lamplighter bicycle is known to exist, designed and manufactured by a different maker. This original bicycle features black paint, wood rims, 28" single tube tires, and is correctly restored.
