This is a sort of an odd one - can you guess who made it?













I'm actually rather surprised it is this sharp because it doesn't have much of a reputation.

You've got to go further east. Wink

But it's probably cheaper build-quality wise Laughing

I thought you were asking who made the bicycle dynamo in the first photos and I was going to guess Lucas.

The bike? Definitely a Columbia.

The big C gives it away doesn't it? Well the fender fin too. Laughing

I don't know actually, but I know it is not Lucas. Rebrand for K-mart. Another mystery!

I meant the actual bottle dynamo that powers the lights, which does look like a Lucas. Very Happy

The red lantern is definitely made by Dietz.

Dynamos - hated them.
Look like a good idea until you have to use them, then they act like a front brake on the bike - something like the friction load on an exercise bike.
It was easier to ride home in the dark than flick this thing on.
Anyhoo - the lens.
Don't know, wild guess - I have gone east a long way -
Seagull DF 58mm ...by chance - although the rounded highlights suggest not .....
OH
