Property of a deceased Delaware Bay River Pilot. These lamps were presented to him upon his retirement in the mid 70’s. They are heavy (12) pounds cast naval bronze. Have never seen weather, always on the mantle. These lamps were wired in the company shop and if needed for shipboard use need to have socket and wire upgraded. Each weighs 12 pounds and this one has the 225 degree forward beam. It is rated for 6 miles. The Fresnel lens is heavy cast polycarbonate resin and is perfect. I will be listing the other lamp. 360 degree all around lamp after dinner. Third picture shows both lamps as found. This listing is for the lamp in the main picture as well as the other single inside pictures. The picture of the two lamps was taken on my deck and both are for sale.
