Army Navy Game

The Army Navy Game iHORN is made from a World War II Navy Battle Lantern made by Beacon Lamp of Boston.  It has been hard wired with a low wattage bulb.  It is coupled with an antique hunting horn.  Even in the heat of the battle, on a cold night these brave men responded to the call of the horn, summoning the right.    These battle lanterns were either hard wired or battery operated.  This particular light was battery powered.  The bracket on the back was designed to hang the light on the ship’s bulkhead so that it was easily accessible to the troops during battle.  When operable, the lantern through a beam of light 500 feet.  Continued in use through the end of the Korean War, they were then sold as military surplus.  The Army Navy Game  iHorn may speak to a history of rivalry on the grid iron but in fact  is a symbol of freedom and America’s role as a protector of the underdog.   It shines on our responsibility to insure human rights throughout the world, like a pillar of light which protects against man’s inhumanity to man.
