This vintage steel oil lantern with a rustic finish is in need of significant TLC. The coating is flaking off, and there is considerable rust.While the clear Fresnel lens is intact with no chips or cracks, it also requires some attention. The oil compartment remains inside the lantern. If you appreciate the rustic appearance, you can leave it as is.
