ESLA Group 'AL' Bi-Mulit 3-Way lantern. Another variant of the many directional lanterns produced by ESLA, this 3-way lantern could be used with 40w-200w tungsten lamps and was primarily designed for use at T-junctions on minor roads. Construction of the lantern body is of cast iron, with a brass lampholder and brass stem to which the lampholder is fixed. Thin-walled mirrored glass is bonded to the underside of the lantern in weather-proof cement to provide the reflective light surface. As with all ESLAs the lamp can be focused by adjusting the position of the brass stem to which the lampholder is attached.

The three-way ESLA is seen in acquired condition, still attached to its home-made wall bracket.

This example came via fellow collector Bob Cookson, who rescued it from  Lewes in East Sussex; aside of a couple of chipped mirrors that can be easily replaced the lantern is in excellent condition.
