Lot #260 - Unusual Brass Walton Conductor Lantern with hinged base
Brass Conductor Lantern by Joseph J.
Walton. This nickel plated lantern has some very interesting features. The
bottom is stamped "MANFG BY JOSEPH J. WALTON, NY - PAT AUG 19,
1865". The base is hollow and it has a hinge on one side to get at the
font and burner. The top was an unusual lid latch that comes up through the
lid. The lid latch is sprung by a simple press plate. The vent area is very
nice with multiple vent hole locations and a fine finial top. The nickel
plating shows some real aging. No globe is included. This is not a common
Conductor Lantern frame. Good basic condition.
