A good example of an original antique lantern dating from the early 20th Century, most likely used on board a ship. It has an arched brass top with carry handle and fixing bracket on the back. It has clear glass and a corrugated metal reflective plate on the back to amplify the light. The side door opens to access the burner and inside is its original oil burner with wick turner stamped 'English Made. 3/4in W'. The lamp is also stamped on the back 'Made in England'.
It is in good original condition. It has a nice aged patina and is not without some knocks and scratches and the brass has tarnished over time. There are a few small dents here and there but no major damages or any breaks to the glass. There has been an old hole drilled at the bottom of the back at some point, possibly for an electric cable. I have not tested the oil burner and it is sold as seen although the wick turner moves well.
