Product description
Bright blue metal kerosene/hurricane lantern stamped ELEPHANT on the base — complete with intact glass chimney, burner/wick assembly and bail handle. The lacquered blue finish appears original and the lantern shows attractive workshop wear: chipped paint, surface rust spots, scratches and soiling visible across the body and the glass. Burner and wick mechanism are present and were observed to raise and lower visually.
This is a strong lot for collectors of vintage utilitarian lighting, prop houses, restaurants or anyone seeking a rustic display piece or a restoration project. It suits a shelf, themed display, garden feature or a workshop that will use or service the burner. The embossing and original paint make it useful for display as-is; it will also respond well to a light mechanical clean or restoration for running use.
- Includes: single metal lantern with glass chimney, burner/wick assembly, fuel tank/base, bail handle and wire guards (complete as photographed).
- Condition: used with chipped paint, multiple small surface rust spots, minor dents/scrapes and dirty/soiled glass; embossing ELEPHANT visible on base.

- Known faults: chipped/knocked paint, surface rust/corrosion spots, scrapes and dirt on the glass and metal.
