Lantern made from corrugated wove paper with cardboard top and base, hanging loop and internal metal candle holder. The paper is printed with blue horizontal stripes (on upper) and red-white vertical stripes (on bottom). The word "Union" (hard to read) is printed at top in the blue as part of the design, with printed Eagles. Too fragile for exhibtion (per SLD 10/9/01).
