Description


Looking for something different for Halloween. Found this oil lantern holder at an old General Store in Saint Augustine, Florida. Saint Augustine was founded in 1565 by Spanish explorer and admiral Pedro Menéndez de Avilés, it is the oldest continuously occupied European established city and port in the continental United States. We visit there at least once a year and we both love this old city. Thanks for stopping by, taking a look and for all your previous favs and comments. They are very much appreciated. Dana

you know you just can't help but to wonder if the old alligator ever thought that he be holding an old oil lantern by his jaws and be stared at by a bunch of mobile food. Great capture Dana

Now that's probably the best lantern holder I've seen! Too bad it is electrified but I guess there would be too much heat for the jaw using a real oil lamp.

outstanding taxidermy. Gators are difficult and especially open mounted. I once found a horse's skull in the desert. cleaned it and shoved an aquarium light up the nose - opened the passage from the nose to the eye sockets and wired up a plug for it all. Hung on the wall and at night, I'd turn it on and that horse came to life with a fabulous evening mood light in the hallway. This would be a great addition to mood lighting in any home.

Wow Dana, that's an original lamp holder and would be a conversation piece anywhere. I love Saint. Augustine, been there several times!
