Lanterns used to signal trains and railway workers. In the days before city lights and GPS, railroad lanterns served a very important purpose: they communicated signals at night between trains and stations. Sometimes, a timely lantern signal meant the difference between life and death. This lantern is an Adlake - Kero, UP stamped on the lid. Red globe with UP etched on lens. This type of lantern was called a "Dead-Flame Lantern" This type of lantern was made from the 1920's to the 1940s. |
