Eastgate & Sons Birmingham Military lantern 1945

Description

This English  lantern is 13" tall. The inner cylinder can be rotated to show clear, red, or blue light through the front lens. Its missing the removable burner (it had a candle in it when I got it) but otherwise its in very nice condition with no rust, dents, or broken glass.  It has been painted so the nameplate is hard to read.  I'm no expert on these but was told this is a military lantern
