Vintage U.S. Navy (USN) Battle Lantern. This heavy-duty piece of naval history features a rugged, gray-painted metal housing with the authentic "USN" mark embossed on the front face.
This lantern has a fantastic industrial patina that would make it a perfect display piece for a collector of militaria or as a unique piece of "industrial chic" home decor.
