Vintage “JUNK LIGHT” Nautical Oil Lantern, Marked “Great Britain”, Numbered, Dated 1968. I know nothing about this type of lantern. Other than it’s nautical. Overall height of 14.5-inches (including wooden bale-type handle). Actual compartment that holds the oil, wick, and globe is 8.5-inches tall by 5.5-inches wide. Slide-wire closure of lantern is tight and a little hard to manipulate. But it does function. Globe, wick, and oil reservoir slide out on a little track. Heavy wire grid-work protects the glass panels from breakage. On the left side. One wire is missing (see photo) I almost did not notice it as it does not detract from the beauty of the piece. Dated: 3/08/1966, Number 334 (see photo of metal label). Weighs in the vicinity of 10 lbs. Look hard and close. Use the magnifier. And thank you for stopping by. This item is in the category “Antiques\Maritime\Maritime Lamps & Lighting”. The seller is “shovelnose” and is located in this country: US. This item can be shipped to United States.
