My grandfather passed away in 1994, he gave me his collection before he passed. I recently started to inquire about the hisory of his items. The plate on the front reads "Geo. B.Carpenter & Co. ship chandler Chicago"

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?
Does anyone have any insight into this lantern?
Anxiously await seeing the other collectables! Beauty this.
Should read Geo. B. Carpenter, would date late 19th early 20th century
This is great.. I could not find anything under CEO.. now I know why, thank you so much.
Still looking for a possible year.
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.
