DescriptionThis railroad lantern has a rounded glass globe that is an amber-orange color. Metal segments surround the glass chimney, composed of an upper, visor-like segment at the top, securing in place a "U"-shaped handle for ease of access, and a cylindrical bottom section with multiple ventilation holes. Thin metal segments surround the exterior, likely serving as a protective cage for the lantern itself.On View
