Procter's Pat. 1876 Solid Brass Antique Ship's Lantern With Amethyst Glass Globe

Here's a shiny nice antique brass Procter's Pat. This is an authentic antique lantern from the 1800s...... 1876 boldly emb on top of shoulder.....

Brass burner is emb BANNER with P&A MFG CO. WATERBURY, CONN MADE IN U. On the round wick knob...

The amethyst glass chimney is not the original, but is over 120 years old and looks great on display. It doesnt seat snugly into the bottom of burner prongs.... Lantern is entirely of brass including the heavy brass wire cage frame..... Vented base can be opened to get to the tank which would have been filled with kerosene.

Brass top part of lantern can also be opened by releasing 3 curling clips that lock it tight.... Even the rounded handle is made of heavy brass... Excellent shiny nice condition with no dents or damage. Feel free to contact me if you have any questions.

Thank you for your business.... Your friendly fellow collector, Digger Dave Beeler. FRESH LISTINGS NEARLY EVERY DAY.
