Lantern, Kerosene

Description

Kerosene lantern made of metal and glass. The base of the lantern is circular and has a round fuel cap on the front. The burner is attached to the center of the base and consists of a round knob at the bottom, a ring with circular vents, and an emitter with a wick inside. A pear-shaped glass chimney encloses the burner. A metal wire frame surrounds the chimney, with two bars on the sides, a ring around the middle, and two larger frame arms that support the chimney cap. The cap is dome-shaped and covers the top of the chimney. There is a looped metal handle attached to the larger part of the frame.
