Antique Questions Forum / Old Turkish Lantern / Florence Nightingale?

« on: October 16, 2010, 02:38:17 am »

I have an old Turkish paper lantern with a brass top and base which looks like the iconic object of Florence Nightingale.
I would really like to know its value today and from what little I could find out it was perhaps used in Scutari Hospital during the Crimean War. c.1889.

Your help and knowledge is much appreciated!
