Description
Not Converted. There is a story behind the 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 also knew a friend whom worked at CG Connecticut Instrument Co. whom offered to plate the Lanterns in Copper, Chrome, or Brass. Mike would later turn those into Lamps however he had not gotten to this one. (This story is inside the Lamp) This Lantern is 15"T by 9" x 9".
