For your consideration is a rare, solid brass, double-stamped Thompson patent lantern produced by Peter Gray of Boston. This one is unusual in that it has the fancy scrolled bail handle, a factory option when ordering, as well as the smaller base diameter on. A few minor dings as to be expected for a lantern of this age, but nothing major. Most notable is what looks like a corrected impact dent in the bell bottom, which has left two small, stable, cracks along the back edge.
See photosand please feel free to ask questions! Has not been oil tested, but the fount looks tight. Antique Brass Thompson Lantern Peter Gray RARE Fancy Handle Railroad Fire Dept.
