c. 1795 Federal Period, Custom Wire Protected American Handcrafted Tin and Glass Lantern, likely for shipboard use, About Very Fine.

Its hinged door has a fancy and very secure sliding locking mechanism. Just below the top tin suspension loop, it has a perforated tin chimney exhaust and a solid brass dome style top cap. Come with an original candle, which appears to be placed on a solid tin mount across the interior. Overall, wear from use and natural age patina, possibly from use on a ship per apparent traces of salt to the surfaces.
