Lantern, Kerosene

Description

The base of the lantern is circular with a cylindrical portion that holds the burner and the base of the frame. The burner consists of a round, wick-adjusting knob, a ring with circular vents, and a dome-shaped emitter with an opening for the wick. The glass chimney has a pear-shaped body and sits on top of the burner. The chimney is enclosed by a wire frame that connects to the large, rectangular frame of the lantern. There are two rings around the middle of the lantern, and a larger, flat ring around the top with an inscription. The chimney has a cap that is connected to the top of the frame. There is a large handle attached to the top of the frame with a thick grip. Note: This object has two on-surface labels. The label "c.27.123" is the correct label.
