Item History & Price
| Reference Number: Avaluer:18102535 |
Very Rare, 1860's Pierced Tin, Fixed Globe Bell Bottom Nautical Lantern from the White Star Steamship Line. This very early, pierced tin base and collar Lantern measures approx 11 1/2" tall overall and 5 1/2" in diameter across the bell bottom shaped base. The red colored globe is an early 20th century replacement.
This is a VERY early Lantern has embossed text on the lower tin collar that reads simply “White Star” and we believe that it was originally us...ed on a ship of the White Star Line. The Lantern retains its original burner base and original wire cage and bale handle.
The replacement red glass globe features cast text that reads “Dietz / Blizzard Fitzall / New York U.S.A.”
This very rare and very early, Fixed Globe Pierced Tin Nautical Lantern is in very good condition but as stated above has a replacement, tall red glass globe. The tin elements are intact and sound although likely repainted a very long time ago. The Lantern retains its original font however there is a hole in the center of the base of the font as can be seen in the scans below. Overall the Lantern displays very nicely!!
A very rare and very attractive, 1860's Pierced Tin, Fixed Globe Bell Bottom Nautical Lantern from the White Star Steamship Line and a fantastic addition to any collection!!!
