Regular price
$1,450.00
Item #: 5142 Here is a very nice and hard-to-find Denver & Rio Grande Railroad Lantern. There is lots of original tin and solid metal on this late turn-of-the-century lantern. It shines like it was only used for a few years, and was well taken care of. It is made by the Adams & Westlake Company, and is embossed on the top lid "The Adams & Westlake Company, Chicago, New York", with the patent date of "May 26th, 1895". It is stamped to the right of that "Pat. May 5, 1908". The lantern is 10 1/4" tall and is in excellent condition for its age. It has only been dusted off and is ready to display. The lantern comes with a hard-to-find 5 3/8" tall clear medium cast "D&RG" in serif letters in a square edge rectangular panel Corning style globe. The globe is in excellent condition with only one very minor small outside bottom rim flake that will not be seen when in the frame. The lantern comes with the correct A&W fount and burner that has lots of tin and no pin holes. This lantern would make a wonderful present for any Railroadiana or Denver & Rio Grande Railroad enthusiast, why not you!
