  • DON'T MISS OUT ON YOUR CHANCE TO BID ON A STUNNING VINTAGE MARITIME LAMP - A MUST SEE!

    10:24 PM PST, 8/8/2009

    This is a vintage copper, brass, and glass lamp - I believe it is a masthead lantern, but it could be an anchor lamp. There are a couple of very minor dings to the lamp, but overall in amazing condition. There are are no oil lantern parts included with the lantern, but there is no evidence that it was ever converted to electricity. The lantern measures 20" high (not including the handles) by 9.5" wide. It measures approximately 29" tall by 14.5" wide including the handles, and weighs a very heavy 11.25 pounds. At this time, I have done extensive research on this lamp, and have not been able to find any information on the maker. The maker's plate reads: Fa. W. Homeijer Jr. Scheepskoperslager Ij AMSTERDAM
