This antique Handlan lantern dates from the 1920s to early 1940s and features embossed glass reading “Handlan St. Louis MO” along with a metal top stamped “U.S. Hwy Dept,” reflecting its original use in early American highway and road work. Crafted from sturdy metal with a rich aged patina, it retains its original glass globe and classic utilitarian design. Once a functional piece of government-issued equipment, this lantern now serves as a distinctive decorative accent, bringing authentic vintage character and industrial charm to farmhouse, rustic, or eclectic interiors.
