NYC & Hudson River RR Dressel Semaphore Lamp

Item Details

Description

An older Dressel 8" lens semaphore lamp. Cookie cutter top with removable top assembly. Total height of 19" with a "box" area of 13" by 9" by 8". One pic shows bottom view with rectangular post mount slot. Dressel hallmark is hidden opposite the door on the interior. Seems like a repaint. Displays great and clearly an older model. The New York Central & Hudson River Railroad existed from 1869 to 1914. With the cookie cutter top I would guess that this is from about 1890-1900.
