Item Description
9" diameter lantern lays flat but extends open to a height of 16" or more. Interior base has metal holder for a candle. The inscription is printed in dark blue on two sides against an off-white bkg. accented at both top and bottom by bright purple circular accents. The blue printing of the text and design partially bled, as produced, onto the white area of the accordion folds. A 1-1/2x1/2" area at bottom and a 3.5x4" area at top are slightly crushed. Scattered dots of toning and a few small separations at folds. VG and attractive example of a rare survivor and truly unusual campaign artifact.
