The is signature on the top of the maker and it read : Reading PA suggesting
Based on my search the most prominent company in Reading, PA, known for producing lanterns, particularly railroad lanterns often made of brass or copper, was Handlan-Buck Manufacturing Company.
1825 to 1925
its design and construction strongly suggest it hails from the late 19th or early 20th century, a period renowned for its craftsmanship and attention to detail in architectural lighting. Lanterns of this style were commonly used to illuminate the exteriors of grand homes, public buildings, and carriage ways, guiding travelers and adding to the aesthetic appeal of their surroundings. Owning this lantern is not just acquiring a lighting fixture; it's possessing a tangible piece of history.
Crafted from sturdy metal, likely copper or a copper alloy, this lantern has stood the test of time. The verdigris patina that graces its surface is a natural oxidation process, resulting in a beautiful spectrum of green and blue hues. The clear glass panels are intact, allowing light to emanate beautifully. This lantern is structurally sound and ready to bring its vintage charm to your home or collection.
