Lot #142 - Northern Railroad of New Hampshire Fixed Globe
Northern Railroad of New Hampshire "NRR"
wheel cut fixed globe. This globe stands 8" tall with a visible portion
of 6 1/2". The base diameter is 3 1/2", the top diameter is 2
3/4". These are standard dimensions and not some odd-ball that you
can't find replacement parts for. The top has a rolled edge with flare. The
base has an applied ring above the base that has a ripple. This was done so
that plaster would have more to grab onto. This globe was free blown (not
molded). It has nice swirls. This globe definitely saw service. There are
numerous dings in the glass. There is no damage. The cutting style is block
lettering and this is one of the standard forms used by the Northern. This
was a Boston & Maine predecessor. Very Good condition..
