Hello fellow collectors! Many of you I know quite well and I hope you are all doing well . I am also pleased to see that there are many new collectors that have joined our ranks, you are clearly insane to partake in such a hobby, but welcome.
I can tell you what I know about this particular lantern. I acquired it many many years ago in the early days of UO and was always curious about it. I have always, and still am, been a very big fan of rare tags and such. I brought it to a rares festival several years back and was lucky enough to catch Mesanna during one of her visits. Despite her busy schedule she took the time to take a look at the lantern and was the one that told me that while it does look sigil, it is in fact a few shades off. She could not tell me whether it was a Seer item, as many have speculated, but did say it is very old and was created during that time period. Unfortunately that is all the information I have about it. I cannot in all honesty tell you that it is unique, as there is no record of it, but I can say that I have never seen another like it in all my time of collecting such things. I hope this is in some way helpful if anyone is teetering on whether they should make an offer on this particular item. I thoroughly enjoyed owning this lantern and am glad to see it pop up again.
