Product Description
19th Century Cast Gimbled Ships Whale Oil Lamp. This ships gimbal oil lantern is in great condition. It was designed using a rather cleaver gyroscopic system which ensured that the wick always pointed upwards no matter how rough the ocean was. The lantern has a reservoir in the center which is for filling with oil. On one side there is a hinge for swinging open and the other side a hinge with a locking pin both in very good condition. There is no wick and has not been tested it. It can be hung by a chain or rope. Beautiful piece of maritime history.
