Description
This candle lantern is painted black and is a cylindrical shape. It has a perforated slit and circle design with a cone shaped top and handle. There is also a door on the side that opens to where the candle is located. It is unsure whether this lantern was used for military or domestic purposes. However, it does provide insight into the objects used during the War of 1812.
