American Brass Whale Oil Anchor Lantern
 Presented here, a RARE 18th Century American Brass Anchor Lantern. Pierced decoration on both top and bottom with a very heavy blown globe. The lantern still retains its original double whale oil burner. The lantern is in excellent original condition with the exception of a small area of loss over @ 3" area (stress crack) in the cut-out star decoration in the base.
A rare example of early American lighting and a true survivor, circa mid 18th Century. If you listen closely you can almost hear the creaking of the timbers as the vessel rocks at anchor. Height is 15" to the top of the handle. $1650.00 F05A05307 Questions? Ask the Ferret!
