    Hello,

    My friend gave this to me this week and I'm having a difficult time finding out what it is, when it was made, etc. Any help would be greatly appreciated :)

    Kindly,

    Cynthia

      I've seen similar called driving lanterns.

      A big THANK YOU to both of you for sending your input! I looked up both references and still haven't found anything that looks most like this one, namely, square/rectangular in it's body. Does anyone know who made these in a squared shape? I've searched everywhere on it and there isn't a single marking (I have 20/15 vision, I promise I didn't miss any markings, there just aren't any! :) ) But the shape seems to make it different from everything I'm researching, is this typical? Am I just not coming across past ones that have sold that were squared-off in shape?

      Big Thanks Again :)
