Description

Kerosene lantern made of metal and glass. The base of the lantern has a somewhat square shape with two rounded corners on the front. There is a circular fuel cap on the left side of the base and a burner mechanism in the center. The burner consists of a round knob, a metal ring attached at multiple points to the frame with circular vents, and a dome-shaped emitter. The burner is enclosed by a glass chimney. The chimney is supported by a bulky frame with two large arms on the side, a circular cap on top connected to the frame, and a metal plate on the back. There is a wire tab on the back of the metal plate with two coiled hinges.
