WW1 U.S. Army STONEBRIDGE Trench Lantern

The Stonebridge Automatic Folding Candle Lantern was patented and manufactured by Charles H. Stonebridge in 1906 and quickly became one of the most popular camping equipment items of the day. In World War I it served as the U. S. Army issued Medical Corp lantern and field lantern in addition to being selected for use by the Canadian armed forces and the armies of several European nations.

These genuine examples are offered in very good condition and are constructed of galvanized steel. All come complete with original translucent mica panels, correct markings and folds. Some may require adjustment of the brass retaining clip to fold up correctly. Overall fantastic original pieces of Great War technology that was crucial for the United States Doughboys in the trenches during World War One.
