Antique Rectangular Metal Lantern Beveled Glass Pierced Top Primitive Hand Lantern.
Antique rectangular metal-and-glass lantern featuring beveled glass panels, a tall enclosed body, pierced/perforated upper ventilation section, hinged access panel, and carrying handle.
The beveled glass is an especially attractive feature and gives the lantern a more refined appearance than a standard utility lantern.
Condition remains antique and unrestored, with heavy age-related patina, oxidation, finish loss, surface rust, scratches, and wear to the metal. The beveled glass panels show normal age-related wear and should be reviewed closely in the photos for any small edge flakes, chips, or scratches.
I would also add to the item specifics:
Glass Type: Beveled Glass
Features: Beveled glass panels, pierced ventilation top, hinged access panel, carrying handle
