US Light House Service Establishment USLHS Keepers Lighthouse Basket With Insert. Shipped with USPS Priority Mail.
You are considering a brass US Lighthouse Establishment USLH lighthouse keeper’s light maintenance and wick trimming basket. It measures 12-1/4” wide, 8-3/4” deep, and 7-1/2” tall with the handle. It is marked on one cover flap “U.S/LIGHT HOUSE/ESTABLISHMENT” and marked on the other cover “U. S. LIGHTHOUSE DEPOT, 3 DIST./LAMP SHOP/STATEN ISLAND, NY. The in...side has the round rouge slot and container and there is a second covered rectangular compartment. It looks like there were 2 other inner metal organizing sections, but they are no longer inside. It also looks like there were 2 loops on the outside that are no longer attached.
Condition is very good. The outer has some minor surface rust and a few dings. It could use a good polish. The inside has the original finish with just a very light scattering of superficial rust here and there to non-brass components. Overall it is a wonderful piece of lighthouse history. Please feel free to message me any questions.
