Theres little holes in the base (pictured), that look like nail holes. Other than that, no real rust issues to mention, and the bell shaped cage is all straight with no bends or breaks. And its not even dirty. Just normal soot in the chimney, but the rest is crud free. The lantern top reads NO.
6 NEW YORK RAILROAD, but the glass reads DIETS RR NO. 6 , and B&A RR on it. A beautiful addition to any collection.
