NORTHERN
PACIFIC RAILWAY
Item
# 13337
In
the post-1900 era Northern Pacific almost exclusively
bought from the Armspear lantern Company of New York,
only a few examples are known of Adams & Westlake
tall globe lanterns produced for NP after about 1905.
This is one. The 1913 Adlake Reliable NPRy marked frame.
This example is 100% tinned and pristine condition in
every way. Completely original and perfect working order
with pot and burner original to the frame.
The
globe in this lantern is also an Adlake Reliable factory
original globe manufactured by Corning and etched NPRy
in smaller letters. This set is rare and missing from
most advanced NP collections.

# 13334
One
of the most eye appealing NP lanterns you'll see. This
1889 Patent Adams & Westlake THE ADAMS frame is fantastic
in every way. Bright rust-free surface with tinning all
over. This completely original frame is undamaged and
unrepaired and remains as it was produced over a century
ago. Every part of the lantern is original with no replacement
parts. Such a hard lantern to come by.
The
globe in this set is just as difficult to find as the
frame. For those variation collectors, this globe has
the Smallest serif lettering of the known examples. Features
of the globe pre-date most of the other NPRR cast extended
base examples placing this globe variety's production
in the 1880's and period correct with this frame. Its
hard to explain just how rare and fantastic this example
is. A top shelf lantern in any collection.

CM&PSRy
stamped on the lid of this Adams & Westlake model
1895 brass top bell bottom frame. This lantern is a beautiful
and interesting mix of tin and brown patina with no repairs
or rust on the frame. Just untouched and uncleaned as
they come. Gorgeous and original all over.
The
globe that completes this lantern is one that you won't
find just anywhere. Cast CM&PS yes, undamaged check
that box as well, but crystal clear with only a hint of
yellowing... that's the true rarity in this example. So
many of these early CM&PS globes suffer from glass
cancer and damage yet this one survives and remains near
perfect. Such a rarity that it is hard to explain to the
casual collector. If you know, you know on these globes...
This is one not to miss out on!

# 13332
NPRR
centered over the lid latch on this 1892 patent Adams
& Westlake THE ADAMS frame. This is the earlier
single horizonal wire style frame. Comes with original
and correct twist off pot. This frame has no pitting
and a beautifully rich patina over nice tin and no rust.
Just a wonderful example having only a resoldered lid
latch to speak of any repairs.
The
globe in this lantern is nearly unbelievable. The largest
of all the NPRR letter styles known, these letters are
3/4" tall and heavily struck NPRR in a rectangular
panel. There is an interesting wear pattern above the
lettering but no cracks in this red flashed piece. There
is a no-show chip out of the extended base which is
invisible to the eye when in the lantern itself. This
globe variety is known to exist in 3 colors and total
examples number less than 10. Don't miss this opportunity.

GREAT
NORTHERN RAILWAY
Item
# 13331
Of
all the GN lanterns from the Pre-1900 era in existence,
all but a handful were made by Adams & Westlake. This
rare example is from the Railroad Signal Lamp & Lantern
Company of New York. Perhaps less than 5 known examples
survive today from this manufacturer and this is certainly
one of the better frames known. Dark untouched patina
with light surface rust covers this single wire guard
frame. GNRY in large letters on the lid. The lantern comes
with twist off font and functioning burner. The frame
carries the 1897 patent date.
The
globe in this set is nothing short of amazing as well.
A sought after GNRy clear cast serif extended base globe
with beautiful strike and no damage. Such a great set
and highly desired by any GN collector's standards.

CM&STPRR
in large letters on the lid of this 1883 A&W brass
top bell bottom frame. This is an unusual frame, 1882
patent dates under the bell and with reverse vent holes
being placed in the bell collar instead of the lower globe
seat of the frame assembly. Beautiful condition with a
lightish brown patina over what appears to be a long-ago
cleaned surface. The brass cap is certainly untouched
as is the rest of the lantern in regard to any repairs.
Just a beautiful example and very hard to find.
The
globe is a well struck CM&StPRy cast extended base
globe, period correct for the frame. No damage and a very
nice healthy strike on the letters. Another superior offering
seldom seen.

THE ADAMS frame. This lantern was produced with a globe
seat making production after 1902 when the first of the

NPRR. The letters on the globe are phenomenal and impressively
bold. Only small flea bite chips on this piece. One of
the nicest we've had in years.

NPRR
on the shoulder of this 1897 patent Railroad Signal Lamp
& Lantern Co. wire bottom frame. What a wonderful surviving
original example this is. Never cleaned or had harsh abrasives
used on it. This frame remains in gorgeous untouched condition
with a super patina and nice tinning mixed to create an
eye catching combination.
The
globe in this frame is one of the best struck NPRR serif
red flashed cast globes we've seen in a long time. A couple
minor flea bite chips on the interior lips that show the
flashing of the glass. What a wonderful piece of NP history.
Don't miss this opportunity.

SOUTHERN
PACIFIC COMPANY
Item
# 13279
Adams
& Westlake THE ADAMS patent 1897 wire bottom frame.
This lantern frame is beautifully marked SPCo in large letters
on the lid and is in surprisingly little used condition.
The lid shows a great eye appealing patina over original
tinning and that theme continues onto the lower globe seat
and waste area where 100% of the original tinning, bright
and shiny, remains. The fuel font shows the same overall
patina as the lid. The frame is tight and undamaged.
The
globe is a clear cast 6" globe marked SPCo. Some light
speculation as it appears that the mold on the o was nearly
obliterated making the globe appear to only read SPC for
South Pacific Coast, but indeed it does have enough evidence
that the o exists to dispel any though of it being from
the SPC. The globe is undamaged and in excellent condition
overall with minor chips. Given that these globes have a
mediocre history of survival at best, this one stands out
as an excellent survivor. Great lantern that will happily
surprise you.

WELLS
FARGO & COMPANY EXPRESS
Item
# 13275
One
of the most recognizable names from the American West that
endures in the history and lore of the frontier era is the
name Wells Fargo. Founded in 1851 Wells Fargo & Co's
Express Company became the iconic symbol of westward expansion
having offices in many a railroad depot across the plains
and mountain territory. This lantern is an amazing part
of that history albeit from a bit more modern era. This
Adlake reliable frame is in wonderful original condition
with an abundance of tinning and no rust Marked on the lid
WF&CO EXP, it has all original components and is undamaged.
The
globe although impressive with large WF&CO EXP. in large
letters is a red corning original globe, but the markings
are unmistakably not period correct. In fact there are no
known examples of any authentic Wells Fargo globes in any
other color than white (clear) to our knowledge. Even with
the facts regarding the color and markings on the glass,
the history of the lantern itself stands alone and is worthy
of consideration for any advance express collection.

Item
# 13272
OWRR&NCO
in small letters on the shoulder of this 1909
A&W ADAMS frame. Really a pretty hard to find
frame and one of the earliest from the OW as it
also added the W to the name in 1909. This frame
is pretty remarkable with about 80% of the original
tinning left in place over the last 100+ years.
The bail catch is missing one ear and that's the
only thing of note with this beautiful example.
The
globe is an early 1902 corning globe that is red
flashed instead of solid red glass. This is such
a heartbreaker because of the few known examples
of red flashed globes from this road, perhaps
less than a half dozen, this one has remarkably
heavy lettering but two cracks, one in front and
one in back which appear heat induced prevent
this from being perfect. None-the-less, the globe
remains in one piece and is worthy of consideration
given the rarity and the relative value for the
price.
