Lot 172: Two Vintage Paraffin Lanterns, including a Kenyon Branded Example

A group of two vintage paraffin lanterns of differing constructions. One lantern features a dark green-painted metal cylindrical reservoir and frame, with the reservoir bearing white stencilled lettering reading KENYON. The piece is topped with a heavily oxidised circular vent and a tall, shaped wire bail handle. The second lantern consists of a black-finished metal top cap positioned over a clear glass chimney, which sits upon a conical brass-toned fuel reservoir. This example is also fitted with a wire bail handle. Both lanterns retain their clear glass chimneys.
