Vintage Red & Orange Lens Oil Lamp/Lantern – WW2 Blackout/Air Raid/ARP?
I do not know very much about this interesting lamp, it came to me with the railway lamps I am selling but I wonder if it is World War 2 Blackout / ARP related. It has two fold out lens in red and orange(amber), that can be used individually. There is no font or burner but it appears to have a lead feed pipe at the back. If anyone knows any more information on it I would be pleased to hear.
I am listing a number of railway or similar lanterns this week and will happily combine postage & packing wherever possible.
I have included a number of photos and these probably describe the item better than I can and form part of the description. Everyone has different considerations when purchasing items and if you need any further information, please feel free to contact me and I will try to help.
Condition: In a usable condition although there is paint loss and quite a lot of surface corrosion. Glass has a chip to one corner and other nibbles and the odd scratch. Burner wick winder works well but the wick is a little grubby so I will also include a length of new wick (not shown in photos). Please also see photos.
Size: 29cm (approx 11 1/2″) high, 17cm (6 1/2″) deep. 1250grams.
Please feel free to ask any questions but please please ask through Ebay. Unfortunately, selling on Ebay generates a lot of spam and dubious emails and I now only respond to questions placed directly through Ebay. I will try to answer questions as soon as possible, but this will normally be in the evening. There are times where I may not be able to reply within 24 hours but I will reply well before the listing ends.
Postage
I am always happy to combine postage, but please contact me before paying to arrange the most suitable method. Unless I am offering free postage, I tend to charge P&P at cost plus 15-20% to cover packaging materials & other charges ( a little more for smaller items). Items that are under 2kg and fitinto a box 45 x 35 x 16cm will be sent by Royal Mail, at a cost of 3.55. Larger or heavier items will be sent by courier. Parcels up to 2kg 4.70, up to 10kg 7.8 ( please note that there are some exceptions to this for large items). If the items have a value of over 25 and up to 100 an additional 2.22 may be added for insurance and signature. There may also be a surcharge for delivery to the Islands and Highlands. I will still happily send an item by any of the Royal Mail services if you prefer (Standard,Confirmed,Special Delivery), so please just let me know and I will provide a quote.If you require a tracking number for the item, please ensure that you pay for a tracked service.
I am always happy for collection in person or for a buyer to arrange their own courier which may be cheaper for the winning bidder. Hermes is preferred for UK collection as we have an exceptionally good delivery man.
International items under 2kg will still be sent via Royal Mail. I will quite happily post most itemsoverseas, but if I have not already been provided international prices, please ask me for postage costs beforebidding.
I will not post to the Middle East, South America or Africa. International items sent by courier will require a contact telephone number.
Packing -I pack to ensure the item arrives with you undamaged. If you have specific packing instructions, please contact me before paying as this may have an impact on the price, as both an increase in weight or size can increase the cost of delivery.
I do try to recycle boxes and other materials wherever possible and will sometimes use newspaper forpadding out, if it does not have any impact on the cost of postage.
