On the market after all these years! That makes dating this one a little difficult! However, I'd wager that this one isn't that old, given that it has "Hong Kong" stamped on the bottom!

Still, it has the LOOK of age, and that's what's important if you're remodeling or using it for a prop in a photo shoot! I guess I could have listed in the "Home & Garden" category, but I suspect if someone is looking for a kerosene lantern, they'll look in Antiques first!

The globes moves up & down by lever, and there is a wick in place. Add lamp oil, wait 10-15 minutes for the oil to make it up the wick, and it's ready to go!

VERY handy to have when the light go out! As noted, up to 45 hours of burn time on a single fill, so that *should* be enough for most emergencies! Bid now so you'll be ready for winter storms! And with the surface rust and embossed red globe, it will look right at home hanging in the corner of your kitchen or den!

Sorry, but no International shipping. I wouldn't trust the globe to survive the trip!
