This is a really beautiful old solid copper mid-size ship's stern lantern. Made by Wilcox-Crittenden probably in the early 1900s, the lantern has an excellent lens which started to turn a light purple color. In the early lenses, sunlight over a long period of time turned the glass gradually a shade of purple due to the manganese in the glass. Collector's prize a lens with that quality.
This wonderful old lantern has been nicely restored and now sits on a solid walnut base which has been newly wired and uses an LED bulb.
The lantern sitting on the base is 17 inches high including the carrying loop. The base is 8 inches deep and 8 1/4 inches wide.
Shipping cost of $75 to the lower 48 U.S. states is included in the price.
