Item Details
Description
One of the highlights of this sale and rarest lanterns from USA railroads! This is an Erie Railroad C T Ham #39 railroad lantern. Cast with ERIE R.R. on the rim. Has the incredibly rare green extended base cast globe with ERIE.R.R.Co. cast on the front, which is in excellent condition. Correct fount and brass burner. Fount is the twist-off variety and goes on and off easily. Patent date of December 26, 1893. Some very light pitting on the lid due to the quality of the steel used for the tops, which is well-known and common for the era, but outstanding original metal throughout, with no fillers or modifications. Serious Erie RR fans will definitely want to add this incredibly rare piece to their collection! Another piece from the Matthews collection.
