Condition report: 

Please see extra image to show the missing section of glass. 

There is an electrical light fitment which is obscured in the main image, but this would hold a bulb. Wiring will need to happen and PAT testing prior to use. 

If all the glass was removed the lantern might look a little naked. 

The frame is of relatively good quality with some minor areas of tarnishing and oxidization commensurate with use and age.
