Description from the seller

Ship's lantern. Height 47 cm. Diameter 20 cm.
Original Dutch Anker lantern from the fifties.
A well-working petroleum burner with a new wick, and a spare lamp glass.
Galvanized steel with a brass cap, partly with a green patina.
The lamp is equipped with a high-quality "Fresnel-Lens"
A number of years were engraved on the glass of the lens by crew members.
Thus, it reads SO741. -- D,H,L,B -- 16.12.58 -- 28.8.64 -- B. 17.5.68
These are placed as marks on the lamp's glass, and tell a story.
By the way, these are not bothersome and are only visible up close.
The lamp could be hoisted by means of the two eyes in the sail's luff.
The burner runs on petroleum.
The lamp is in good working order.
Well packed, and shipped with tracking and insurance.
