Subject: [CR] Classic Lights for 50's Randonneur


While on this subject has anybody seen or have for sale or copy a battery tube from the early 50's? I have a 1952 Gillott with a pair of pump pegs 12'' apart on the back of the seat tube. The 18'' pump pegs are on the front. I can only assume that these rear pegs are for a battery tube. Photo on flickr here. http://www.flickr.com/photos/makfreak/3952539365/in/set-72157622327843859/
   I have seen a Rebour drawing dated 1951 of a ''Zoe'' battery tube. Could be made from aluminium. I would pay well for one of these to go on this special bike.
