Yesterday’s Mystery Object was a Bulls-Eye Lamp.
Made mostly of metal, this oil lamp also has glass lenses though which firelight can shine. Between the lenses are two holes connected to the round metal cannister which holds oil. Two strings would be fed through these holes and lit. The lenses would provide a more concentrated beam of light than a regular lantern.
