Description
A Railroad Signal Lamp & lantern brass top bellbottom lantern frame with removable bell. It has the RR Sig. embossed into the brass top. It takes a 5 1/2" extended base globe. The lid has D&HC CO stamped in block lettering. The globe is free floating (no spin-down mechanism). The underside of the bell has an 1875 patent marking. It has a brass Beacon burner. The tip of the lid latch has broken off. This one is a bear and this minor repair is kind of tricky. Unlike heating a "Reliable" latch, this one has to be positioned using a jig to keep it in the right place for soldering. Wooden clothespins can be a big help on soldering this. The globe is a very nice clear with extended base and D&HCCo cast in fancy lettering in a rectangular panel. It's a very strong strike.
