PAIR OF ENGLISH MARINE COPPER STARBOARD & PORT SHIP'S LANTERNS
Both with original applied plaques "Starboard" & "Port", one with serial number "2143"
Item # 301PZN23Q
A fantastic pair of early ship's Starboard & Port lanterns executed in copper with the original fresnel lens to each, they retain a wonderful old and warm patina throughout the surface with the years at sea evident in the old tarnish and oxidization throughout. Both are entirely original and have not been electrified or modified, though we can certainly make those alterations upon request.
Measurements: 14 3/4" H x 8 1/4" W x 8 1/4" D
Condition Report:
Heavily patinated and tarnished surfaces with light dents, dings and abrasions throughout from years of active use; the inner lamp components have not been examined for completeness or functionality and will likely require some conditioning in order to operate as originally intended.
