I'm fairly new here, so maybe this has been covered, but, I'm told that the original "tall bikes" were used to ride around cities and light gas burning lamps, as the bikes were tall, the rider could lean against the post and not have to dismount and climb a ladder to light the lamp, obviously the most efficient way to accomplish the task...

I have a couple of home made "lamp lighters", but, does anyone here have an "original" lamp lighter? I'm assuming the answer is no, they seem pretty rare....
