FE&MVRR
in large letters on the lid of this Adams &
Westlake patent model 1882 tin top bell bottom.

looks to be a couple of small repairs on the bottom
of the bell. All original matching compoents and
in fine condtion.
The
globe in the lantern is a nice clear etched extended
base globe marked FE&MV. The globe has a crack
on the side as seen in the photos. Good original
globe until another can be found. This is one
nice lantern from the early days of this railroad.
These earlier generations of FE&MV lanterns
rarely come up for sale.

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.

$175.00

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.

$455.00

of the tinning remaining under the lid and through

original components. Super nice.
The

globe marked OSL in a round end panel. Cnx marking
on the back. Just a beautiful eye catching set.

YORK NEW HAVEN & HARTFORD RAILROAD
Item
# 12256
All
original Adams & Westlake model 1897 beehive
top wire bottom frame with twist off font. This
frame has a really nice patina. Very light uniform
pitting on the lid under what appears to be an
old clear coat finish. Some orange-ish staining
underneath which looks rusty but there's no pitting
so could be discolored coating. The lantern is
solid and nice with all original parts and no
repairs. Twist off font is in excellent condition.
The
globe is a nice older serif letter example marked
NYNH&HRR in a rectangular panel. Beautiful
cast and nothing but small rim chips. Crystal
clear. Hard to find this nice.

functional. The globe is a clear unmarked corning
style globe in excellent original condition.

SHORT LINE RAILROAD
Item
# 11620
O.S.L.
in large letters on the lid of this model 1897 Adams
& Westlake ADAMS frame. Any pre-1900 OSL lantern
is difficult to find these days and this frame is
hard to beat. Some very minor pitting in some isolated
spots but overall this frame shows smooth metal and
tinning over virtually the entire surface. The twist
off font looks to be from an early R.E. Dietz frame
but fits and fills the spot until the appropriate
A&W model can be obtained. A gorgeous uncompromised
frame in excellent condition.
The
globe in this lantern is a clear cast extended base
style marked OSL in big fat letters. Very few of these
globes exist in any condition. The only thing keeping
this globe from being unbelievable is the impact cracks
emanating from the top rim on opposite the lettering.
The globe displays very nicely and again, fills the
spot until an upgrade can be obtained.
Any
OSL extended base frame or globe is hard to come by
and this set certainly has the potential to be a top
shelf addition.
