Up for sale is a Rare Vintage Old Military (WW2 / WWll) Inverted Gas / Gasoline Lantern Lamp. I think this lantern was made by the Aladdin / Mantle Lamp Company back in the 1940's for the army; I don't see any "Aladdin" marking on the lantern so it may have worn off. It's marked "Inverted T 51-3 Gasoline Lantern" and it has a label on it with instructions. There's also the number "26" marked on it, which looks like it's painted on (or maybe marker).
The lamp measures 14 1/4" tall x 6 1/2" wide. It has a glass dome, that has a crack in it (last photo). The lamp is a military army-green color. It displays paint loss/wear, rust spots, tarnish, discoloration, scratches, marks, dirt/debris/dust etc... You can find other inverted lanterns/lamps but this one seems to be rare!
Please use zoom function to see details on all photos. Photo with soda can is for sizing reference / comparison. Please ask and & all questions.
