Lot #190 - Silver Plated Presentation Lantern "Wm E. Smith" Green over Clear Globe
Silver Plated Queen Conductor lantern
with both the frame and 2 color globe marked "Wm E. Smith". The
silver plating was an expensive option offered by lantern manufacturers. The
frame has "Presented to Wm. E. Smith" inscribed on the lid. The
frame has a wire bottom and the fount assembly is threaded and it completely
"field strips" to its components. There is a tiny pin in the fount
cup that locks the fount into a specific point in the frame. The Globe is an outstanding example of a
Green over Clear with a presentation wreath and the initial "WES"
cut in Old English lettering. The Globe measures 5" in total height
with a 4 1/2" display area. The top diameter is 2 3/16". The base
diameter is 2 1/2". The burner is missing but it is a standard #2 size
and not something impossible to find. Excellent condition.
