a c ford ac ??? bracket: as aquired
The provenance of this lantern and bracket is completely unknown, having been obtained as a swap
at a collectors meet.
However, it may have originally been installed in Folkestone, as the angular AC Ford bracket and
side-entry REVO C14403 series lantern were very popular around the town. But its colour would
count against this: Folkestone painted their brackets and columns white whilst this was green.
Angular brackets of this vintage are rare. Side-entry is even rarer.
The cast iron box only contained a fuse, suggesting this lantern was originally group switched.
