Rare and very hard to find pair of Empire Blow Mold Christmas Coach Lanterns, made in 1976. These lanterns are in excellent condition, with no cracks or holes and minimal scuffs or paint loss. There are some minor wrinkles in the decals, but the colors are bright and vivid. The lanterns measure appx 14". The brackets both have a bit of warp that I'm confident would straighten out with some carefully applied heat, though I'll leave that to the buyer. I a...m able to straighten them enough by hand that i would be able to mount them to a flat surface. One bracket has a crack in it, pictured, that can be straightened back into place. The boxes are in good condition, with no mold, mildew or signs of water damage. One original installation instruction sheet, very wrinkled but easily legible. Mounting hardware not included. These lanterns come up next to never, especially in a pair with original boxes. They will make a wonderful, nostalgic addition to your Christmas or winter holiday blow mold display
