This is a really cool old "GEO B. CARPENTER & CO" Antique Ships Lantern I recieved as a gift years ago from my sister who owned an Antique Store. This lamp has made so many of my homes homey and cozy I love it, but do not have the space in my little house I live in now so I must give it up, with a little saddness. I will try to describe the lamp as best I can, to give you as complete a description possible so you know what you are buying.

Lantern Description:

~The Lantern is approximately 15" tall and at the squared part of the back it is 6" wide.

~It has beautiful curved glass on the front which is chipped in two places, but it is hard to see the chips as it is a heavy ribbed glass and the chips are on/in ribs. The first chip the (largest chip) is located on the second rib from the bottom of the glass, in the center. The tiny chip is located on the rib directly above the larger chip. As I said it is hard to see them because of the ribbing. (see Photo)

~There is a little oval tag at the top of the front of the lamps neck that says :

"GEO B. CARPENTER & COMPANY CHICAGO"

~The bottom base of the lamp that hinges open works fine, but there is a section that is rusty. (see photo). The latch mechanism is missing. When my sister gave it to me she put the chain on so I could close it securely. I used to burn pillar candles in it, which I seated inside the lamp on top of an old pickle jar lid to catch the wax. It worked great!

~The bottom of the Lamps Chimney neck has a puncture in it. (see photos)

This Antique lamp is sold "As Is". As stated, it is an Antique and all the little imperfections add to the old charm of the lamp.

I just hope whoever buys this neat old lamp will love and appreciate it as much as I have thru the years. Let me know if you would like me to email extra pictures of specific areas, and If you have any question please do not hesitate to ask.
