This is a Holmes, Booth & Hayden, CT Hand Lantern with Beveled Glass Sides The lantern is in excellent condition but does have what looks to be a repair on the latch. The sides are a very nice, heavy beveled glass.
I was told this is from approximately 1865 and that it was made in two sizes. I believe this to be the larger size as I did find info on one that measures 8 3/4" tall with the handle down, 13" with it up. This one is about 11 1/2" tall, 17" with handle. Also I wa...s informed this has a a calendar or beehive burner but the burner top is not the original as the wick knob stem should extend out the opening on the left side. The burner can looks to be original as metal color and solder joints match the lamp. The wick knob reads: "Banner, P&A Mfg Co.
Many thanks to eBay'ers that helped with identification and detail.
