      Very Nice
      I have a few older oil lamps myself.

      Thank you, I know nothing about them. Do they usually not have a manufacture date?
    3. heidinors heidinors, 12 years ago
      Does anyone have any insight into this lantern?

      Should read Geo. B. Carpenter, would date late 19th early 20th century

      Thank you AR8Jason. No, there are no other markings. I was hoping I could find a similar model to offer some range, but I find several other types, just not this one.
