  • Condition: The frame is in excellent condition; clean metal, nice chocolate brown patina with tin showing through, stands straight and has no extra holes drilled, major dents, bent, broken or missing parts. It has the correct Handlan-Buck threaded twist off bell and brass E Miller burner. The fount and burner are in working condition and would hold fuel and burn if desired. The burner takes a 5/8” flat wick, which easily moves up and down when the adjuster is turned. The Clear Lantern Globe is cast “MP” in a rectangular panel and has the “CNX” Corning Glass Trademark, along with the 1902 patent information cast below the top rim. The lantern globe is in excellent condition with no chips, cracks, scratches, or cloudiness. The globe has a light Vaseline tint and some minor casting flaws, bubbles, and swirls, consistent with an early globe. As with any globe that saw railroad service, there may be some minor chipping or staining on the rims which will not show when the globe is seated in the frame.

    Description

    Offered is a vintage piece of
    American Railroad History
    , a
    Missouri
    Pacific Bellbottom Railroad Lantern
    , embossed on the bell “
    MOPAC
    ,” the railroads nickname. The lantern frame is a Handlan-Buck, double wire guard, twist off bellbottom. The frame is in excellent condition; clean metal, nice chocolate brown patina with tin showing through, stands straight and has no extra holes drilled, major dents, bent, broken or missing parts. There is an Inventory or Control Number stamped on the bell which I believe is “C17330,” but it is hard to read so I am not certain of the numbers. It has the correct Handlan-Buck threaded twist off bell and brass E. Miller burner. The fount and burner are in working condition and would hold fuel and burn if desired. The burner takes a 5/8” flat wick, which easily moves up and down when the adjuster is turned. The Clear Lantern Globe is cast “
    MP
    ” in a rectangular panel and has the “
    CNX
    ” Corning Glass Trademark, along with the 1902 patent information cast below the top rim. The lantern globe is in excellent condition with no chips, cracks, scratches, or cloudiness. The globe has a light Vaseline tint and some minor casting flaws, bubbles, and swirls, consistent with an early globe. As with any globe that saw railroad service, there may be some minor chipping or staining on the rims which will not show when the globe is seated in the frame. The
    Missouri Pacific
    was originally part of the
    Atlantic &
    Pacific
    prior to 1876. It existed from 1876 until 1997 when it became part of the
    Union Pacific
    which continues to operate many portions of the
    MP
    today. Shipping is .00 for UPS Insured Ground with the globe packed separately to insure safe shipment.
