DescriptionThis carriage lantern has a square, upper segment, connected to a cylindrical segment, likely serving as a handle or part in which it would connect to a Studebaker Spider surrey. All four panels of the square segment are made of glass, highlighting the gold embellishments within the exterior. One of these panels opens up via a hinge on the bottom. The top portion of the square segment also appears to open, and is topped with what appears to be a small, rounded handle or hanger for storage or mounting.
