IT IS AN OLD AUTHENTIC SHIP NAVIGATION OIL LAMP.

By far the most popular lantern in our inventory. The classic Vintage Nautical Marine Oil lamp or Lanterns used on sailing ships for hundreds of years.  Our Vintage oil lamp is hand machined in pure heavy-gauge copper with brass trim. The Fresnel style lens is made to magnify the oil lamp light to be visible for many nautical miles.The anchor lamp is named for its use.  A 360o white light is required to be displayed at the highest point( the tallest mast) on all vessels at anchor or underway at night.  These oil-burning lanterns were made to be lit and hoisted to the top of the mast with one rope tied to the handle and 2 ropes through the brass guides to keep it from swaying as the ship rolled with the sea.  Can burn for 7 up to hours before refilling, maybe.
