FREE: Porcelain Lighthouse Trinket Box (Whitefish Point MI )

The listing, Porcelain Lighthouse Trinket Box (Whitefish Point MI ) has ended.

Here is my last lighthouse trinket box it is of the Whitefish Point Lighthouse in MI. 4.50" H x 2.50" L x 1.50" W

Construction on the first light began in 1847, and the lighthouse was said to resemble that at Old Presque Isle Light.[13]

First lit in 1849, it was one of the first lighthouses on the shores of Lake Superior and is also the oldest active light on the lake. The original structure was outfitted with Lewis lamps, which were thereafter upgraded to a Fourth Order Fresnel lens.

The current structure, while modern looking, is a Civil War relic. Built in 1861, the iron skeletal steel framework was designed to relieve stress caused by high winds. A similar design is used at Manitou Island light in Lake Superior. It was equipped with a Third Order Fresnel lens.[
