Just like the sort Ben Franklin might have used making his evening rounds except ours is battery operated with a 5 hour timer. Attractive hand lamp has flickering bulb, a real metal base and a frosted glass shade scalloped at the top. The 8" overall height makes this the perfect hand lamp for indoor or outdoor use. Built-in timer turns lantern on at the same time every day, then automatically shuts it off 5 hours later. Also has manual on/off switch. Over 200 hours on 3 "AA" batteries. This beautifully detailed lantern is one of the most appealing accent pieces we've seen. You'll find lots of opportunities to use this handy hand-lamp and it's a good little emergency light to boot. Bronzed base, frosted glass shade, 8" overall height.
