Embury Lantern, 1930s-40s

This lantern is made by the Embury Manufacturing Co., which has been in business for about half a century since 1900. It is a rather small lantern and was originally used as a warning light in various situations, including construction sites.

It's covered in rust, has a lot of dust stuck to it, and there's a small hole in the bottom. There's a rustling sound coming from inside the tank, so it seems like sand and rust have gotten in. However, it doesn't look dirty and appears to have withered nicely.

The fuel filler cap does not turn, and the wick knob does not move. Rust and sand fall out every time you open and close the top, but this atmosphere is not something you can create by trying, so we will not clean it at all and will sell it in this condition.

The last photo shows a tea candle placed on top of the wick. It doesn't feel very stable, so I hope they can improve that. I think it would be a little brighter if they removed the dust from the glass surface.

Note
Filling the oil tank to the brim will cause it to leak, so keep the oil supply to about 8 minutes and be careful not to shake it too much. Also, be careful not to extend the wick too far, as this will cause soot to form.
