Description

This vintage Chalwyn “Tropic” kerosene lantern was manufactured in England and reflects the sturdy, functional design that made the brand popular throughout the mid-20th century. The lantern retains its original red painted finish, embossed model and maker marks (“TROPIC” and “MADE IN ENGLAND”), and clear glass globe. Its classic storm-lantern form includes dual side guards, a lift handle, and a rounded fuel tank, all showing expected wear and patina consistent with age and use.

Measuring 5 Inches at the base and 10 inches tall, this lantern makes an excellent decorative accent for rustic, farmhouse, camping, nautical, or industrial-style décor. The piece is ideal for display or restoration and represents a collectible example of British lantern production from the 1950s–1960s era. Its authentic patina and complete components give it strong visual appeal for collectors and enthusiasts of vintage lighting.
