Thisis a very nice tall twist-off-base bellbottom railroad lantern that is marked"MM Buck & Co. St. Louis" on the steel top. The frame is double-marked "CH&DRR" for the Cincinnati, Hamilton, and Dayton Railroad. This road existed from 1846 to 1917. The globe is a fantastic crystal clear castextended base beauty that was made by Macbeth Pearl Glass. The letters are embossed "B&ORR" for the Baltimore & Ohio Railroad.The extended base measures a full half-inch and fits the frame like a glove. No cracks in the globe. The CH&D was eventually acquired by theB&O so the globe is not really a reach for this frame. The bottom center of the base has a very nicerepair where a hole had been drilled, probably for electrification. The brass burner was missing, but I replacedit with the proper, old original type.There is still a length of old wick attached. This is a very fine old lantern with allsolid metal intact. Buyer paysshipping. Thanks for looking! Below is some info on the CH&D:
