Small torch light with silver finish and wire handle for mounting. Item donor Susan H. Douglas states that this torch light was meant to be mounted on top of a parade helmet (such as 2214.PD0067, 2214.PD0068, or 2214.PD0069) and also dates the item to circa 1884 (presumably based on its similarity to items advertised in 1884 sales fliers).
