CHICAGO
ROCK ISLAND & PACIFIC RAILROAD
Item
# 12613
CRI&PRR
etched in large letters on this clear extended
base free blown globe. The Rock Island was known
for such globes and since top and bottom lips
are not ground, they tended to be a little more
durable than globes with ground tops and bottoms.
This globe shows one minor chip on the extended
base otherwise remains in perfect condition with
a super nice pronounced etching. Until you find
a cast globe, this is as nice as they come...

COLORADO
& SOUTHERN RAILROAD
Item
# 12612
Unusual
Adlake model 1913 Reliable frame marked C&SRR
on the lid. Most of these frames are marked C&SRy.
Very nice condition, clean and rust free with
a ton of original tinning left. The fuel font
is a replacement Adlake Model 300 in new condition.
The
globe is a very nice heavy letter clear cast corning
globe marked BURLINGTON ROUTE in thier trademark
box logo. The Burlington Route bought out the
majority of the C&S and controlled the line
starting in 1908 so although not a real matched
set, it is extremely possible this duo saw service
together. Hard Colorado lantern to find in good
condition.

CHICAGO
MILWAUKEE & St. PAUL RAILWAY
Item
# 12573
This
CM&StPRy 1895 Adams & Westlake brass top
bell bottom is in uncommonly excellent condition.
These lanterns were not well tinned from the factory
so to find one with this amount of tinning left
on it is pretty remarkable. Just a beautiful pristine
and perfect frame. It has the single row of lower
vent holes and correct soldered together bell.
Just an unbelievably high quality frame.
The
globe in this lantern is superior in every way.
Cast lettering is a 10 out of 10. The color of
this globe is a slightly lighter and more pleasing
red than usually found. Earlier square end panel
corning marked globe in mint condition with no
problems. One of the more remarkable Milwaukee
brass top lanterns to hit the market in quite
some time.

CHICAGO
NORTH SHORE & MILWAUKEE RAILROAD
Item
# 12570
This
is a nice model 1913 Adlake Reliable frame embossed
CNS&MRR on the lid. Painted silver but appears
to be in good rust free condition underneath.
The fuel font is in good condition with the bottom
having perhaps a tiny pin hole in it at worst.
Nice frame.
The
globe is certainly the star of the set. Corning
5 3/8" signal green globe etched CNS&MRR
on the side. The etching straddles the mold line
but that's the only complaint as the rims of the
globe show minor nicks and there are silver paint
remains on the top and bottom of the globe. Cnx
marking is fully cast and there are no cracks
or other damage. Super hard to find this color!

DULUTH
& IRON RANGE RAILROAD
Item
# 12456
Some
good history from the Iron Range here. D&IRRR
marked on the lid of this Adlake model 1913 Reliable
frame. Nice brown patina covers the lid, on this
frame. Signs of light pitting underneath but to
clean this would be a crime against history. Of
note is the lower wire ring that seems to have
sat in a puddle of water which spared the rest
of the frame from decay. It's take some pretty
heavy corrosion but is intact and doesn't detract
from the rest of the presentation. The rest of
the frame shows good virgin tinning and a dry
surface that is devoid of any collector's tinkering.
Just a time capsule of history in this piece.
The
globe in the lantern is a hard to find marked
Iron Range globe. Clear etched D&IRRR to match
the frame. It has the usual small chipping but
no damage and it is crystal clear. When collectors
look for untouched specimens of history, this
is what they look for.

SAN
ANTONIO & ARANSAS PASS
Item
# 12381
Beautiful
Handlan round top tall globe frame marked in large
letters SA&AP on the lid. This Texas line
is difficult to find any hardware from, let alone
a lantern with such great tinning. This frame
remains nearly 80% tinned and in excellent original
condition. The font may not be factory original
but appears to have been with the frame for a
long while as it matches perfectly.
The
globe is a red original Corning globe with hallmark.
Although it appears a collector has added the
SA&AP marking to the globe, this is a very
attractive lantern and if you are fortunate enough
to have an original marked globe, this would be
the perfect compliment.
