    AGM Nr. 57 lantern. I think it dates to around 1923. In fairly nice shape. No stress cracks I can detect. It has the original mica globe with a brass frame. Some flaking of the nickel plating around the base.

    Lovely proportions on this one - and the brass frame and mica are an added bonus!
    Many thanks for posting.
