Lantern

Description

Large kerosene driving lantern with a circular base and a horizontal, cylindrical body. There is a large, cone-shaped reflector on the front of the lantern, but it is missing a glass window. The reflector swings open on a hinge and clasps to the lantern on the right side. There are two slots for brackets, one on each side, used to attach the lantern to a vehicle. A small knob sits below the right bracket and is used to adjust the light. The back of the lamp has a red, circular glass reflector and inscription on the metal. The top of the lamp is cylindrical and has three concentric discs, each with space between them.
