A British hurricane lantern by Chalwyn, the Tropic model, in very fine vintage condition. The fount is embossed TROPIC on one side and CHALWYN with MADE IN ENGLAND on the other, and the filler cap carries the Chalwyn name too. The lantern probably dates from the 1960s.
 
This is a cold blast lantern, with a row of air holes in the chimney above the globe. The clear globe sits behind a crossed wire guard and is raised by a lever at the side.
 
There are a few light rust spots. The lantern burns and can be used with pure paraffin.
