Possible French Kerosene Railroad lantern or European lantern...

[read6737]

Kerosene is "pétrole" in France.

Pic 4 shows I think the stabdard abreveation of the French patent mark Breveté SGDG "Brevete San Garantie Du Governement" means "Patent without the Government guarantee" I think indicates a patent pending. The patent system starting in 1791.
Do a French google.fr search on the Breveté SGDG or just S.G.D.G.
