How about these Beauforts (or other similar lantern). They are privately owned and probably don't work anymore. |

A pair of Falks Beauforts outside Maidstone fire station. However, the cones look odd, the nearest has less of a taper than the one in the background and on both, the lower end looks to be too larger a diameter. I wonder if they were originally open versions which have had "diy" cones fitted? |

I have this photo from 2008 of a lantern in a front garden in my nan's village of Birchington-on-Sea in Kent, which I remember Mazeteam identified on SABRE back then as a possible Falks Beaufort lantern. |

Aside from the cylindrical opal double open ended bowls, note that the canopies are formed of a single piece of spun aluminium which is open bottomed, and that the support spines curve beneath the canopy and enter the optical part. |

It appears that the smaller bowl is less common. I've found another in Fife, due for removal early next year! I didn't think they were used on public streets, only private property, until I saw the ones in Fife. |

I got another Beaufort 25. I'm going to clean it & paint it, then it may be up for grabs. |

I'm doing a cosmetic repaint on some parts. I'm a bit worried about posting it though being so fragile. I'll post photos of it finished. It's in great shape with only minor chips on the bowl. |
