This authentic Perko galvanized steel anchor lantern with copper top ring caps was salvaged from the USS Missouri (BB-63). Made by Perkins Marine Lamp & Hardware Corp. in Brooklyn, NY, it is the desirable large ship’s anchor lantern featuring 360° clear Fresnel lenses. The lantern retains the original “Perko” maker’s mark etched on the inside of the clear glass lens (It has the front Perko tag on the outside galvanized steel). Condition Notes :
The lantern shows beautiful original patina and it is consistent with wear for their age and naval use (minor dents, paint loss, and surface wear are normal).
