Add a piece of authentic early transportation history to your collection! This is a genuine antique black enameled kerosene/oil tail light lantern dating from the 1910s to early 1920s. Features a striking, thick ruby red glass bullseye (fresnel) lens housed in a hinged front bezel.

​This style of lamp was famously utilized on early Brass Era and Nickel Era automobiles (like the Ford Model T), agricultural equipment, vintage trucks, and horse-drawn carriages. Complete with its original tiered windproof chimney, bottom oil fount reservoir, side adjustment knob, and heavy-duty rear bracket mounting bolt.

​Perfect addition for an early automotive restoration project, Rat Rod accent, or unique industrial machine-age shelf decor!
