This vintage brass navigation lantern was manufactured by the historic maritime hardware firm Wilcox, Crittenden & Co. of Middletown, Connecticut and adds an intriguing décor element to the well-traveled home. Designed for the front of a small vessel, this lantern’s heavy brass housing features two, dark-toned Fresnel lenses separated by a vertical center vane to project red and green signaling fields simultaneously across the water. A weathered brass carrying loop crowns this seafaring treasure, which showcases the durable, functional craftsmanship characteristic of early 20th-century American nautical equipment. In good to fair condition, with wear and patina consistent with age throughout. See photos for details.
