Item Details
Description
From a prominent collection, a Boston & Albany Railroad frame made by Porter in New York. This model has the B&A initials stamped into the brass cap on the very top. Some Porters have a more shallow stamping in the lid. It's got the odd Porter lid latch that works from above. It has the faint Porter patent info next to the lid latch. It has a skirted base and a pinch pot. The pinch pot comes out easily. The bell has a little missing metal on the rim on one spot. It has a single round whale oil pick wick burner. The globe is a heavy narrow Porter. They have to be narrow through the middle to clear the top of the cage. The globe has PORTER cast into one side. The globe fits great. It is flashed red so there is a thin coating of red glass inside of a clear globe. There are flash flakes so you can see the clear globe on both the top edge and bottom edge.
