Too bad this guy can't spell Fresnel. Question is where did he acquire all the lights he appears to have access to? In one of the pics there are 3-4 more in the background.

He probably has someone who makes replicas or had access to a "Fresnel Lens Junk Yard" from way back when. I'm sure many lenses were discarded in the past when they outlived their usefulness. Maybe some junk collector saw value in these items and scooped a few.

As always...let the buyer beware!

Merry Christmas!

I tend to believe these are not traditional lighthouse lantern room lenses. They would appear to be from a buouy or other "minor" type of light, especially with the casing they are contained in. I have seen lights along these lines, but I think it was on the lightships I have visited.
