"SALEM CLIPPER SHIP"
in the late 1920's/early 1930's from the port of New York.
The ship was eventually pieced out, and refitted as a World War II
Liberty/Troopship.
Someone very handy aboard the ship took an original oil burner, removed the oil
tank,  kept the twist &  lock base, added a electric fixture, which was used
to illuminate the lamp during its service in WWII.
No alterations were made to the lantern, it also has its original oil burner, and can be used
either way.
The bulb shown is original from the 1940's but no longer works, the fixture however
is fully functional & can accept any standard light bulb.
After the war ended, the lantern was used aboard the tanker ship
"JOHN B. CADDEL"
The lamp was eventually removed from the ship sometime in the 1950's by a merchant marine officer
who served aboard the vessels for 28 years , retired & lives in Guttenberg, NJ.
The information above was obtained from this officer as best as his memory serves.

The Lantern is quite huge, and heavy, made of beautiful patinated "Pink Brass", by
"RUSSELL & STOLL CO"
