THIS IS WHAT YOU'RE BUYING: A rare one, here's a genuine antique Improved Venus kerosene darkroom lantern, an American classic, made by Robey-French of the United States in the late 1910's. It's a high quality, heavy, and very well built lantern from that period, and if you only wanted one of this type to display in your collection, the Improved Venus beats the heck out of a lot of the others! Old and worn, exhibits the usual external wear and oxidation on the sheet metal body f...rom years of normal darkroom work and handling, but essentially clean and intact, with clearly visible signage on front, nicely preserved kerosene lamp complete with the rarely found original glass chimney, and the the original red glass panels. Wow! Buy-it-now for only $160, and shipping is absolutely free within the United States!

Okay, now take a look at this fabulous vintage darkroom lantern, but don't forget to read the payment and shipping information after the pics:
WHEN THE SALE ENDS: The buyer will immediately receive an invoice through eBay's automated e-mail notification system, but if you're considering more of my items, you might want to wait to pay until you receive my personalized bundled invoice after all your purchases are chosen. The buyer must prepay in US dollars, and shipping is free within the USA. Worldwide buyers, take note, should use eBay's shipping calculator to determine the cost of USPS First Class Mail International to their location for this heavy 4 pound parcel. Now please remember, this is a genuine antique photographic accessory, over 100 years old, not a minty new item fresh from the factory, so there's a chance it could have additional little age related aches or pains I didn't notice, but it's still guaranteed to be as described, and if for some honest and understandable reason you're not satisfied, simply e-mail me first to verify instructions and then return the piece in its original stated condition for a full refund, in compliance with eBay's guidelines, within fourteen (14) days after you receive it. Thanks for looking, and never forget, antique wood and brass and red bellows cameras and brass lenses rock!
