Rare Ship's Copper Shutter Signal Light with Fresnel Lens

About the Item

A rare ship's copper shutter signal light with a round Fresnel lens. The shutter on the side is used for transmitting Morse Code. The back has a door that gains access to the oil lamp and has a slide latch to stay closed. We also had it converted by adding an electrical bulb mounted above for modern use, while still retaining the oil lamp component. Dates to around the 1940's. A great collector's piece. The Lockhart Collection is a personally curated gallery of antiques and fine jewelry, owned and operated by Deborah Lockhart Phillips. The antiques and vintage pieces encompass Nautical Artifacts & Instruments, Art Deco and Mid-Century Modern Furniture and Lighting, British Campaign furniture, and of course the finds that simply defy being categorized. The Lockhart Collection is a notable and trusted resource for many interior designers and movie production companies. An affinity for the sea, spirit of adventure, a discerning eye and a belief in keeping life interesting, informs her style and therefore the collection. Deborah sources quality, one-of-a-kind and distinguished pieces; found both domestically and abroad and has done so for over 30+ years. Located on Nantucket Island.
