Pedersen Lanternefabrikk of Oslo, whose maker's plate sits inside the hinged lid. The copper body keeps its red station paint as found — heavy paint loss and verdigris patina throughout, honestly worn and un-restored (see all photos). The ribbed Fresnel-style clear glass lens is in perfect condition, with the maker's serial 0/94316 etched into its side. Electrified and working: the conversion uses a modern bulb and cord, drilled no new holes, and is fully reversible; no oil burner is present. A working piece of maritime history that lights a room beautifully. 15"H × 10.5"W × 10.5"D. See less
