Lot #247A - PW&B Railroad Signal Lantern
Philadelphia Wilmington & Baltimore
Railroad twist off base Railroad lantern made by the Railroad Signal Lamp
& Lantern Company. This is an older frame with a twist off base. It has
a shallow stamping of PW&B RR on the lid. This si typical of this maker
at this time. The very top has patent dates. The vertical wires are flat and
not round. The frame has some pitting and light surface rust. It would clean
up better. The globe is a clear cast Corning style with PENNSYLVANIA over
LINES. The globe is not as yellow as the picture shows. No problems with the
frame or globe. Very Good uncleaned condition.
