Vintage industrial lantern marked 9-S-5293-L, Type J-I-S.
Heavy steel construction with original finish and intact glass lens. This model is part of the Type J lantern family used in mid-20th century industrial, railroad, and maritime environments, including documented military applications. Appears consistent with Type J lanterns produced by companies such as Delta Electric, though no maker’s mark is visible.
Condition:
Shows age, surface rust, and wear consistent with long-term use. Original internal components and battery compartment present with corrosion from old cells. Untested and sold as-is. See photos.
Original batteries were present but removed for safe shipping due to corrosion. See photos of interior prior to removal. Original batteries will be packed separately and provided to the seller.
Light dimensions: 10" x 7.5" x 4"
A great authentic example of a WWII-era industrial lantern with clearly visible model markings.
