This pair of early 1900's railway lanterns are shelf and shop worn (paint) but have never been lit.100 percent orig and unmolested. They were 'rescued' out of a rail storage shed eons ago by a Bell linemen and I got them in a batch of stuff from his estate. Open to offers for the pair plus shipping.(at cost)

Do these have a bracket where they would be mounted or is there a square hole in the bottom? Are there three lights or four?

CNR was created June 6, 1919.

I would think this is 20's-30's stuff, there is a square cast base on the bottom and they have 4 lenses each.

Sold $ 425. Thanks Old Gas
