ww1 siege lantern

Siege lamp made from tin-plated and regular steel. The lamp has a cylindrical body fitted to a circular stand. The side of the body has a small oval door on a side hinge for lighting the candle that sits in the centre. A reflective piece of steel is fitted inside the body at the back to increase the illumination from the candle. Attached to the front of the body is a round opening which is fitted with a hinged piece of glass. The glass can be covered with a steel flap hinged at the base. This flap has a slit in the centre to let out a minimal amount of light if required. A circular section is attached to the top of the body with a series of holes and slits for ventilation. The steel on top has been cracked from the heat of the candle. A curved steel handle is attached at the back.

True I can leave a candle in it for 100 years but a battery leaks in 6 months
