Triplex Mark Nautical Bow Lantern OS Gold/Red/Blue Fair 1913 Patent Patina

This vintage nautical lantern shows significant signs of age including paint wear, surface oxidation on the metal components, and handwritten markings on the back. This Triplex Mark nautical bow lantern was originally manufactured around 1913 based on the patent date and has been converted to an electric nightlight. The piece features a split red and blue fresnel glass lens that provides a soft, atmospheric mood lighting rather than a bright functional light. The gold-tone metal body exhibits a heavy patina and some chipping, reflecting its long history and previous maritime use. It includes a modern cord with an inline thumb switch for easy operation as a decorative accent piece.  All items ship from a pet-friendly, smoke-free home.
