Offering for auction an EARLY WHALE OIL LANTERN with PIERCED TIN in a DIAMOND & STAR SHAPES. I believe the lantern is all original. It has its original font and whale oil burner, and a swing handle top. On the very top of the lantern the vent hole is a little rough and oversized from use. There are no other holes in the lantern...the font has a dent in the side of the tank, refer to photo...there is a little crease on the very bottom by the piercing, again note photo. I believe the oil font was originally soldered to the base of the lamp but has become detached. There is minor surface rust but the lamp is solid with no rusting holes. Certainly an 1850's era whale oil lantern. The glass is intact with no chip or cracks. One of the guard wires is unsoldered, hard to notice. The lantern stands approx. 10-1/2" tall not counting the swing handle....with the handle it measures approx. 16" tall....the base measures approx. 4" across.
