This 100+ year old British World War I era Candle Lantern was made by Christopher Collins Ltd., an English manufacturer which had factories located at the Blackheath and Hurst Green sections of Birmingham, England. During The Great War (WWI) they made ‘lamps’ of all descriptions including ‘Magic Lanterns.’ Today it makes a great candle lantern to sit on a table inside or out; as it is protected from winds.
The lantern measures just under 5 x inches and is 12 inches tall.
