SOUTHERN PACIFIC RAILROAD LANTERN Clear CNX Lantern Globe

Offered is a vintage piece of Western American Railroad History ; a Southern Pacific Railroad Lantern with a Clear ADLAKE KERO, CNX Lantern Globe. The frame is an Adlake 250 Kero and is embossed on the dome SPCO. The lantern frame is in excellent condition; nice smooth metal, stands straight and has no major dents, bent, broken or missing parts. The bail was modified long ago, probably by the railroader that used the lantern 80 or 90 years ago. The bail has been straightened and a piece of copper tubing has been slipped over the wire.

Great lantern for those who collect lanterns with employee modified bails. There is an Inventory or Control # 45064, stamped on the number pad.

The lantern comes with an Adlake 300 fount and burner (takes a 5/8 flat wick). The burner is fully functional; wick easily adjusts up and down when the adjuster is turned. The fount contains the original factory wadding and will hold fuel and burn if desired. There is a last patent date of 1923 embossed on the top rim.

The Clear Lantern Globe is in excellent condition and is free of chips, cracks, scratches, or cloudiness. As with any lantern globe that saw railroad service, there may be some minor staining or roughness on the rims which will not show when the globe is seated in a lantern frame.

The Southern Pacific Railroad existed from 1871 until it was taken over by the Union Pacific in 1997. Be sure to view all photographs closely as they are part of the item description.
