19th-C. American Painted Tin Canal Barge Oil Lamp Lantern, S.M. Forte, Troy, NY, USA, Mid-19th Century
A rare 19th-century American Painted Tin Canal Barge Oil Lamp Lantern by S.M. Forte of Troy, NY. This remarkable piece of American nautical history remains untouched and not yet electrified, preserving its original integrity. The lantern measures 12 inches wide, 20 inches high, and 11 inches deep when closed, expanding to 30 inches wide when opened.
This rectangular lantern features a wooden-handled domed top, hinged mirrored side panels, and sliding glass sides. The interior includes a glass oil lamp and a glass reflector, providing authentic 19th-century illumination. Painted in a cream color with a vibrant neoclassical trellis design. The maker's name, "S.M. FORTE MAKER WEST TROY N.Y.," is stenciled on the back, adding to its authenticity.
An excellent example of mid-19th-century workmanship, this canal barge lantern is both a functional and decorative piece, ideal for collectors and enthusiasts of maritime history. Its rare, intact condition makes it a unique addition to any collection, offering a glimpse into America's nautical past.

Located in West Palm Beach, FL
Antique Maritime Lantern "Meteorite 50811" by Meteorite Lamp Co., Painted Metal with Fresnel Lens, circa 1920s–30s
Height: 25.5" with handle extended, 21" to top of lantern Diameter: 13" Base: 10.5" diameter
A striking antique maritime lantern from the Meteorite Lamp Company, England, bearing its original maker's crest and brass plaque marked “METEORITE 50811.” This large-scale lantern is constructed from durable metal and finished in a faux copper paint that has developed a rich, distressed patina with appealing wear and surface texture from years of use.
The lantern features a thick, clear Fresnel-style lens, designed to amplify and project light efficiently over long distances at sea. The lens is enclosed within a protective metal cage and accessed via hinged doors at the top and front. The piece remains unwired and without current illumination, preserving its integrity as a collectible artifact. It was originally oil- or kerosene-lit using a removable burner chamber, typical of early 20th-century ship lighting...
