Vintage Belgian Military Signal Lamp, Army Railway Lantern, 1950s

 

Introducing our new vintage find – a vintage Belgian military lantern. The lantern's body is made of steel, painted olive green, and features a classic field design. Three sides feature shutters, behind which are orange and green colored glass filters. The fourth side of the lantern opens, providing access to the oil lamp, which is the lantern's light source. The oil container is made of steel, and the burner is brass. The lamp has a wick adjuster and a glass chimney. The brass burner, judging by the logo on the wick adjuster, is made by the renowned German company "Brokelmann, Jaeger & Busse (BJB)".

 

This authentic Belgian Army (ALB) signal lantern is in immaculate condition and likely unused, making it a coveted piece for military collectors.

Condition:

Excellent vintage condition: the lantern body is in perfect condition - the painted surfaces are free of scratches and abrasions. All lantern parts are present, the shutters and door open and lock securely. Judging by the absence of carbon deposits in the smoke exhaust duct, the lantern has never been used. There was some oil residue in the oil lamp reservoir, which I removed. The lantern has not been tested and is offered as a collectible and decorative item.
