Stonebridge Folding Lantern - Pat'd November 20, 1906-1908, Made in N.Y.C.,U.S.A.
The Stonebridge was an ingenious, feature-packed lantern. It had a flat, internal wind shield located beneath the peaked “roof” of the lantern. The wind shield, designed to protect the candle flame in high wind, contained an opening for smoke to exit the lantern. The lantern windows were made of isinglass (thin sheets of mica), a material that is transparent rather than crystal clear.
This lantern has not been cleaned; All film is in good shape on all sides ....
Hard to think that these lanterns helped the men in war stay alive...
We have one only - Thank you for supporting a family owned business...
