You are looking at a very interesting early Lehigh Valley Railroad oil torch lantern. Wick would be stuffed in the spout, kerosene in the can, and then it would be lit up.
It is approximately 6" tall, 3 7/8" across at the base.
As you can see, UNLIKE most of these I have come across, the spout has an added section between the main body of the can and the spout. Neat!
L.V.R.R. is embossed on the side.
CONDITION: Shows some light wear. Pictures show all sides.
