LANTERN APPRAISALS
So you found an old Kerosene lantern and are wondering what it value may be? I get asked this question quite frequently and it is always difficult to answer.
There are so many factors you have to consider when assigning a dollar value to a vintage Lantern.
- CONDITION: This can range from extremely poor to excellent almost "new old stock" condition.
- CORRECT GLOBE: This is very important to have the proper and correct globe with the lantern. Sometimes the value of the globe is far more than the lantern itself.
- RARITY FACTOR: Another tough one, but the more rare, the higher the value
IF YOU HAVE A LANTERN THAT YOU WOULD LIKE SOME GUIDANCE ON IN REGARDS TO IT'S VALUE, YOU CAN CONTACT ME HERE.
This is the link to the main contact form and you will be able to provide a contact email. I will respond to your request. The next step is to then provide high quality photos of your lantern.
MANY TIMES THE VALUE OF THE RARE GLOBE IS WORTH MUCH MORE THAN THE LANTERN IT IS IN.
