1897 SOUTHERN PACIFIC RAILROAD LANTERN Clear Cast SPCo EB Lantern Globe
Offered is a unique piece of railroad history; a Southern Pacific railroad lantern with a Clear Cast Extended Base Lantern Globe. The frame is an Adams & Westlake The Adams; six inch, double wire guard, wire bottom, with a twist off fuel fount. It is embossed on the shoulder in large letters SPCo. The lantern frame is in pristine original condition; original olive drab factory finish, nice smooth metal, stands straight, has no dents, bent, broken or missing parts and all solder joints are tight. It comes with the correct A&W six inch twist-off fuel fount and brass burner.

Fount & burner are fully functional; wick easily adjusts up and down, and would hold fuel and burn if desired. The Clear Cast Six Inch Tall Extended Base 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 roughness on the rims which will not show when the globe is seated in a lantern frame.

It is difficult to find a matched set in this condition as the six inch globes were prone to breakage and most six inch frames offered show up with either a broken 6 or a common and incorrect 5 3/8 tall corning style lantern globe with a smaller diameter non-extended base. The Southern Pacific used predominately six inch hand lanterns prior to 1900. 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.
