Nice! A classic GEC lantern that's sadly vanishing from streets everywhere.

I once saw some pole mounted ones like this, fully restored and painted in a village near Warwick

Still something you occasionally see pole mounted out in the sticks, but even those seem to be vanishing slowly.

Whoever restored that done a pretty damn good job on it, nice find
