PORTLAND
ELECTRIC POWER CO.
Item
# 11551
From
golden years of the interurban era in Portland Oregon
comes this tall globe Adlake lantern from the Portland
Electric Power Co. Last in succession behind the Oregon
Water Power & Railway, and the Portland Railway
Light & Power, The PEP Co. was the third in succession
to the original OWP&Ry and was followed by the
Portland Traction Co. before finally ceasing interurban
electric operations in the late 1950's. This lantern
is an Adlake Reliable model 1923, the last of the
Adlake tall globe lanterns. It is in beautiful condition
clean and ready to display with no issues.
The
globe is a matching red etched globe marked PEPCo
in small letters. Dual marked by Corning and Libby
Glass Co., making it a relative rarity in itself.
Beautiful
set from the height of the interurban empire in the
Pacific Northwest.

Item
# 11550
OR&NCo
on the lid in large letters of this Adams & Westlake
model 1892 Adams wire bottom lantern frame. This lantern
is the earlier single wire guard version produced
between 1892 and about 1896 before some key features
were introduced such as the conical globe retainer
and second wire guard. The metal surface has been
cleaned long ago and shows light uniform pitting with
areas of smooth metal. It remains fully original with
all correct components. A very good example of a hard
to find frame.
The
globe in this set is perhaps a bit earlier than the
lantern itself. Red flashed cast in a rectangular
panel is OR&NCo in small serif lettering. It is
believed to be the earliest of the cast OR&N globe
styles, perhaps dating from the early 1880's. The
globe has a nice strike and is in fine condition with
minor rim chipping. Only a handful of these globes
are known in collections today. A very nice early
lantern from Oregon's rich rail history on the Columbia
River.

KCSRy
in small letters on the lid of this A&W model
1895 round wire bell bottom frame. The lantern is
very nice overall with some very light uniform pitting.
The lantern has been cleaned long ago and is in excellent
display condition. The original bail catch is attached.
Many of these were removed by trainmen who found them
annoying. The fuel font and burner are in excellent
condition, one possible tiny solder repair on the
bottom of the font is the only thing of note. Excellent
frame.
The
globe is a red FLASHED cast corning style globe marked
KCS in a rectangular panel. This one is absent the
Cnx trademark which pegs its production to the years
1902-1909. Excellent condition with only minor rim
nicks that show the clear glass and thin red flashing
on the inside. Strong cast letters stand out on this
beautiful globe. Great set.

NORTHERN
PACIFIC RAILROAD
Item
# 11506
One
of the finest NP lanterns we've had the pleasure of
bringing to market. This Adams & Westlake model
1882 tin top bell bottom lantern is stunning in condition.
This frame has a beautiful uncleaned smooth metal
finish overall with large amounts of original tinning
all over the lantern. The boldest N.P.R.R. marking
possible on the side of the lid, and just a pristine
lower vent area that is completely tinned and unrepaired.
There is what appears to be a tiny solder repair on
the outer lip of the bell that blends nicely with
the overall condition. Full and distinct Adams &
Westlake patent stamps on the bottom of the bell.
Of the handful or so of these in existence, this is
one of the top examples.
The
lantern comes with a clear extended base globe with
the letters McL finely wheel cut in the side. The
globe has no major faults, only minor rim chips.
Truly one of the finest pre-1890 NP lanterns known
to exist.

Item
# 11405
DGH&MRR
in big letters on the lid of this Adams & Westlake
model 1873 brass top bell bottom lantern. Just a rich
beautiful patina with no pitting and just enough tinning
left to be delightful in condition. The frame has a large
#5 stamped opposite the letters. the bell is from a slightly
later time period in the middle 1880's but has been on
the lantern forever as the patina matches exactly. This
type of bell was only made for a few years and probably
was switched to this lantern in service in the 1880's.
The
globe is a clear unmarked extended base globe with minor
rim chipping only. We are not aware of any other examples
of this frame but a few more must exist somewhere. Maybe
not in this fine of condition but for sure this is a rarity
seldom, if ever seen.

COLORADO
FUEL & IRON COMPANY
Item
# 11404
This
Handlan round top lantern if marked CF&I Co on the
lid and is clean with an odd match of tinning and patina.
It looks like they only tinned the shoulder of the lid.
Not a re-tin job, it is original that way. Some minor
rust on the globe retainer, otherwise excellent and unrepaired.
It has its original twist off fount showing the Handlan
patent dates. Long ago the pot was soldered in the twist
off cup for some reason but it remains original and in
good shape. Very nice frame and hard to find Colorado
piece.
It
comes with a red unmarked globe that is cast MEG Co 50.
The globe has minor flea bite chips on the rims and that's
it. Great looking set.

Item

Running
through the heart of the Palouse country south out of
Spokane, this early Eastern Washington electric railway
hauled people and goods to and from the area known as
the "Inland Empire" around Spokane. This 1909
Adams & Westlake tall globe frame is in farm fresh
condition. Solid and unrestored, this survivor is in excellent
condition with a thin hint of green paint but mostly a
nice patina. Slight roughness in areas but nothing more
than surface rust, this example comes with a clear unmarked
5 3/8" globe. Font and burner are in excellent shape.
Lanterns from this road are few and far between and are
prized by the lucky owners who have one.
