Philadelphia & Reading Brasstop Wire Bottom Lantern

Item Details

Description

An earlier Railroad Signal Lamp & Lantern produced lantern. It has P&RRR stamped on the lid. Later model are marked "P&R RY". The brass top has some real dings and dents. The red paint does not seem to be hiding rot. This version has all flat wires, so it's earlier. The twist-off pot comes off easily. The globe is 5 3/8" tall and has a fine "P&R RY" casting with no panel.

9/9/21 per customer request I verified that the top had plenty of dents (3 new pics) but no splits.
