There is a story behind this lantern as Mikes dad John had a friend that worked at Adams & Westlake in Elkhart In. in the 50s who allowed John to aquire unissued lanterns made for the Peurto Rican Railroad. From there John knew a friend whom worked at CG Connecticut Instrument Co. whom offered to plate the Lanterns in Copper, Chrome, or Brass. Mike would turn the large ones into Lamps. (This story is inside the Lamp) Lantern is 13.5"T (base to top of lantern) by 8.5" x 8.5". To the top of finial is 28"T. Working however misses when turned on at times. May need rewired
