Thanks to Taka with his help on the first plate I submitted. I have one more I need help with. This data plate is on a lantern. I was told the lantern came off the Nagato but I cannot confirm that. I've had this lantern for several years and I have no idea what the data plate reads. Any help with this one would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!!!!

Thanks again Taka. You are a huge help. This has been a headache for me for a while. Here are a couple more photos. Unfortunately, the solder that took it turned it into an electric lamp. The glass is in great shape though. There is something embossed on the glass as well.Comment

Still a very nice identifiable war time manufactured item.
The history still remains, so please take good care of your collections.
Great to see it in a good home.
Thank you for posting.
Best regards,
TakaComment
