REVO C9225

This was one of REVO's earliest sodium lantern. The canopy is cast iron, with large mirror reflectors.

The lantern originally lit a factory in the Midlands, ending up in a reclaim yard in Walsall when the factory was demolished. It was rescued by Claire Pendrous who passed it onto Bob Cookson who passed it onto me.

Unfortunately the end piece, a triangular extrusion from the lampholder end of the lantern has snapped off (taking a large part of the glass with it). This will have to be replaced before the lantern is fully restored.
