Bleeco 695 "Sunstar"

A real gem from the 1940s is this enclosed Sunstar lantern. Featuring the original 2-piece glass refractor bowl, the lantern is in excellent condition for its age.

Internally the layout is very basic, with an Edison screw lampholder and simple metal reflector plate. The canopy and retaining ring are cast iron, meaning the lantern is very heavy when assembled.

The Sunstar is shown as received, complete with the original finial and swan-neck bracket remnants.

 

Thanks to Bob for this lantern.
