Purchased this at an antique store over the weekend. I'd never seen a lantern like this one before. I'm interested in finding our any history on it. Is it really an antique? I can't seem to find anything like it on the web. It stands about 8-10 inches tall.
Thanks in advance.
Hope I'm wrong, but it sure does look like more modern antiquing.
same thing listed on eBay as Vintage Copper Maritime Oil Lantern
and with origin of Hong Kong as: Vintage Hanging Dark Metal Oil Lantern Glass-windows Bronze Nautical Industrial
Thanks! I just didn't have the wording right when searching it. I found one on Ebay that is priced at $65 and it's identical. I'm guessing my $12 find is a good deal. Cannot wait to get it hung up. I'm in love with oil lamps. Always searching for new special ones. Have always wondered what I'm actually looking at. Glad I found this site!!!
