Antique Japanese Railway Signal Lamp (Lantern) Railway Surplus LED Included

Antique Japanese Railway Signal Lamp (Lantern) - Railway Surplus [LED Included]. This is a piece of railway equipment originally used during the era of the Japanese National Railways (JNR). This is a highly atmospheric portable iron (tin) lantern-originally used for night work or signaling-believed to date from the late Meiji to early Showa period. While originally designed to house an internal oil reservoir (oil lamp), we have included a warm-toned, filament-style LED lantern (brand new, tested) so you can safely and easily enjoy its nostalgic glow in a modern living space. Simply insert batteries, and you can immediately use it as stylish ambient lighting or an interior decor piece.

Enjoy the beautiful interplay of light and shadow characteristic of this type of lantern: the light does not spill backward but instead gently illuminates the ground or wall in front of it. 28 cm (including top handle). 15 cm (from rear handle to the protruding lens section). It shows signs of age such as rust, scratches, and dirt, creating the deep, rich character (shabby-chic texture) unique to antiques. We have lightly cleaned the item with a brush and dry cloth before listing to prevent loose rust from flaking off; however, please understand that this is a vintage item before purchasing.

The door latch is simple but functions securely, allowing for smooth opening and closing. The front features a standard flat glass pane. Perfect for those who appreciate Taisho-era romanticism or industrial-style decor; ideal for use as a shop display piece or for creating the right atmosphere while camping. This is a vintage item showing signs of wear and aging. Please refer to the photos for the exterior condition.

Suitable for collections, display, or demonstration purposes. Notable scratches and dirt present. Please contact your local post office for details. International Buyers - Please Note.
