COLUMBIA & PUGET SOUND RAILROAD

Item # 13080

This model 1909 Adams frame is marked C&PSRR on the lid. Nice brown patina covering the entire frame with little to no pitting underneath. This frame is uncommon in that most all C&PS frames have the later drop in font while this one sports the earlier twist off font, making this perhaps a tad bit earlier than 95% of the other examples out there.

The globe is an amber Dietz globe that just makes this lantern pop. Wonderful eye appeal and a Seattle area rarity that eventually became the Pacific Coast Railroad of Seattle before being purchased by the Great Northern. Rare offering.

Its condition is remarkable having no pitting, no rust and all original dark patina with no repairs and all original parts.

UNION PACIFIC RAILROAD

Item # 13076

We see a lot of Union Pacific lanterns these days. Most that catch our attention will grade in the 7-8 range, rarely do we find one worthy of a 9.5 on a scale of 1 to 10.

Heavy lettering and full definition on this casting is remarkable. This is without a doubt the best red overland globe we've seen for sale in the last several years.

Item # 13046

B&ORR and LOCO embossed on this rust free Adlake Reliable patent 1913 frame has a yellowish brown tint from what appears to be ancient varnish covering the lantern and protecting it from rust. Looks to be almost fully tinned underneath so kudos to whoever had the forethought to protect this from the elements. A really nice frame, that the only fault that can be found is in one missing bail ear and a pot that could have used some protection like the frame. The pot remains solid but needs a decent cleaning.

The globe is a clear cast corning style B&O capital dome logo globe in excellent condition. The globe matches the frame perfectly as it has LOCO etched opposite the logo. Great lantern.
