Item Details

Description

A couple of very nice early railroad lanterns. Both have brass tops and bell bottoms. The first is a 1871 Parmalee & Bonnell with the 1871 on the lid. It has a twist off base. This is unusual for this model. It also has the fat vent holes. The 2nd is a Dewey or Railroad Signal 6" with twist off bell (glass fount) and it has a 6" barrel globe with a chip off the base. It's a no show. Great parts!
