Vintage Pair Perko Galvanized Steel USS Missouri Battleship Anchor Lights – Clear Lens – Circa 1940
This authentic pair of Perko galvanized steel anchor lanterns with copper top ring caps were salvaged from the USS Missouri (BB-63). Made by Perkins Marine Lamp & Hardware Corp. in Brooklyn, NY, these are the desirable large ship’s anchor lanterns featuring 360° clear Fresnel lenses. Both lanterns retain the original “Perko” maker’s mark etched on the inside of the clear glass lens (one lantern no longer has the front Perko tag on the outside galvanized steel). Condition Notes : These two Lanterns are being Sold as a pair.
One lantern is approximately 1 inch smaller in height than the other.
The base diameter is slightly larger on one lantern.
Both lanterns show beautiful original patina and are consistent with wear for their age and naval use (minor dents, paint loss, and surface wear are normal).
Both have solid, original clear glass Fresnel lenses with no cracks.
One lantern has a small chip on the inside of the lens at the top seam area and it is slightly smaller in size. It is not noticeable when the lantern is assembled and viewed normally — you only see it if you take the lantern apart and look closely.
The lanterns are spectacular with gorgeous patina, functional, and impressive display pieces with great historical provenance. They make a striking statement as a pair.
Dimensions (approximate – lanterns vary slightly): Height with top ring: ~20–21"
Width (overall): 10"
Base diameter: ~9.75" (one slightly larger)
Style: Nautical / Maritime
Period: 1940s
Country of Origin: United States
Materials: Galvanized steel, copper ring, clear Fresnel glass lens
Mounting: Can hang or sit on floor/counter
Condition: Good vintage condition with noted imperfections consistent with age and history. Original, unaltered pieces.Perfect for a beach house, nautical-themed room, kitchen, great room, patio, or any maritime collection. These are substantial, historic lights that carry real USS Missouri provenance.
