This Adlake Bellbottom switch lamp has been electrified with the use of a "flicker" light bulb, giving it a very realistic look when plugged in and illuminated. The power cord has a rocker style switch in line making it easy to turn on and off. The lamp is all original except for the wiring of the bulb. The work was done well.
The lamp could easily be put back to 100% original condition with the addition of a burner and one mounting tube if desired. The lamp shows normal signs of use associated with previous ownership and natural patina from age, including some porcelain paint loss on the lower reflectors as expected with these older lamps. There is no major rust or metal damage, and the lamp displays very well. This would make a great addition to any collection.
The overall condition is GUC good used condition. The product is a vintage Adlake style railroad lantern, designed as a 4-way switch for signal purposes on railroads.
This collectible piece of railway memorabilia features the iconic Adlake brand, known for its durability and historical significance in the transportation industry. Perfect for collectors or enthusiasts of railroadiana and trains, this lantern adds a unique and nostalgic touch to any collection or display.
