Description

An original French "Lantern de Poche" or 'pocket lantern' dating from the early 20th Century. This clever design folds neatly into a pocket and flips open to create a travelling lantern. It has a nickel case with a folding carry handle and its original leather panels on both sides. When it folds out it has the original Mica window panels with “Patent” in gilt lettering (Mica is a mineral which can be split into thin clear fireproof sheets). The back of the lantern has its original candle, a section for matches and a ribbed striker.
It is in good original condition. It has a lovely aged patina and it opens and closes smoothly. There are some signs of age and use, some knocks and marks and some tarnishing but nothing detrimental. There appears to be a patch repair to one corner of the casing but it is strong and sturdy and displays well.
The best description comes from the photos so please look at them all carefully and if you have any questions just ask.
