ac ford ac-424: as aquired

The lantern originated from a swap with Claire Pendrous, who rescued it from the Rugeley area of Staffordshire. Unfortunately it was missing its bowl, but as luck would have it, some street lighting engineers from Kent gave me a bowl after I scrounged around their pick-up. (I've since seen the bowl in various ELECO lanterns around Kent, so that's where it probably came form.)

However it's correct for this lantern as the same Holophane glass was used by REVO, ELECO, A C Ford and Phosco.
