Noted your folding candle lantern while searching for resources for mine. Regarding your question, according to leevalley.com "First patented in 1900 by Charles Stonebridge, it was the first candle lantern to feature a hinged-partition design with an integrated chimney and candle socket." The originals were used by American servicemen in WWI.

Mine is a "TopAlpine" brand shown at http://thewoodslife.com/?p=82.
It is missing a (isenglass) window so I am looking for a source for parts or a replacement that is intact.
