BALTIMORE & OHIO RAILROAD LANTERN Signal Green Lantern Globe
Offered is a vintage piece of American Railroad History , a Baltimore & Ohio Railroad Lantern with a Signal Green Fresnel Lantern Globe. The frame is a Dressel and is embossed on the shoulder B&ORR. The lantern frame is in excellent condition, clean metal, stands straight, no extra holes drilled, major dents, bends or broken parts.
It comes with a correct Dressel fount and Badger burner (takes a 7/8 flat wick) that appear to be fully functional and should hold fuel and burn if desired. The fount still contains its original factory wadding and the wick easily moves up and down when the adjuster is turned. There are no visible holes or damage to the fount, but it has not been tested.
The Signal Blue Fresnel Lantern Globe is in very good condition and free of damage such as cracks, scratches, or cloudiness. There is some chipping to the veins of the glass from years of use on the railroad. As with any globe that was used in actual railroad service, there may be some minor roughness on the top and bottom rims that will not show when the globe is seated in the frame.The Baltimore an Ohio was a Class 1 Railroad that operated in the eastern part of the United States from 1830 to 1987. In 1987 it became part of CSX Transportation, which continues to operate many of the former B&O lines today. Be sure to view all photographs closely as they are part of the item description.
