    Description

    This is an extremely rare 1920 PERKO Torpedo Boat Destroyer Masthead Brass Kerosene Lantern by Perkins Marine Lamp & Hardware Co of Brooklyn, New York. It has a Corning glass globe. This lantern is pictured as Figure 68A in the 1920 Perko Catalog 5 on page 22.
    This lantern was made specifically for torpedo boat destroyers and not the regular commercial market, and thus it is quite rare.
    This Lantern is in excellent Condition with a few small dings.
    ***NOTE***
    The kerosene burner which would sit inside this lantern is missing and thus not included with the lantern.
    ***NOTE***
    There is one chip on the Corning glass piece. This chip is shown in close-up in the last two pictures.
    This Lantern is 18" tall with the carry handle upright, by 7" in diameter. The Lantern weighs 9 LBS 2 OZ.
    Most of the items I sell are estate finds, and are presented to you in, as is, as found condition. They are described to the best of my knowledge. Some wear is to be expected, unless described as flawless or mint. I cannot know everything about every item I offer, I do inspect each item and list all known flaws or damage. So please take a good look at the photos and ask questions if need be.
