The Delta Electric Company in Marion Indiana produced bicycle accessories for many years. Their most popular product product was headlights. Most bicycle manufacturers chose Delta head lights and tail lights as original equipment on their deluxe bicycles. Some bicycles, such as the Schwinn Phantom even had a built in headlight with parts supplied by Delta. Other Delta products include battery tubes, horns, horn buttons, light switches… just about anything that involved the use of batteries on a bicycle was produced by Delta! One of Delta’s competitors was E.A. Laboratories. Detailed information about the Delta Electric Company will be added here when we are able to do the research.

Hi, I am a child of the 50′s, My first bike was a Rollfast. It had a light built into the chassis of the bike. Not sure what type light but it did work. I also am an old stuff person and about 20 years ago I piccked up on old headlight. Still in original box with mounting hardware then put away for many years. It is a Delta Rocket Ray. How old is this puppy?
I have a Delta torpedo bicycle light that I think was made in the 1950′s. Is there a site I can go to get more information on this light?
