This is fresh from a local rural Indiana farm estate auction and is being offered here in as found condition, this old lantern is in ROUGH shape, it looks like someone has patched rust spots in it with some kind of tar like substance and then painted it black, see pictures. Please see all of the pictures and ask any questions you might have before purchasing. $9.00 flat rate shipping (within the U.S., actual costs elsewhere). GOOD LUCK AND THANKS FOR LOOKING!!!!!
