RARE Antique American Folk Art Painting 19thC Fireman’s Tin Parade Lantern, NR.. I wish I could tell you what Fire Department this antique Parade Lantern is from, but that information is lost in time. Measuring 6 ¼” across the front of the red glass panels by 6 ¾” deep by 14 tall this tin Kerosene Lantern is still attached to the tin, gimbal, pole holder. Most time when you find a Fire Lantern with colored glass panels the designed and writing are cut into the glass. This lantern has hand painted red glass panels depicting a fireman and a banner that reads, “What the Foreman Says, Goes”. One hand painted panels is in very good condition with a little wear to the paint on the sleeve. The other painted has more wear to the paint, but when you think about it that the paint is still there at all is amazing. Over the years the outer red paint has dried leaving a textured crazed surface. On both sides it says, The Hook and Ladder Co. What the Foreman Says Goes. The paint look dry, but it is not unstable and is firm to the touch. The tin on this late 19. Century Fireman’s parade lantern is in very good, unrestored condition and the small kerosene font is original. Some eBayer will win this rare and possible unique Fireman’s Parade lantern.
