CONDUCTORS LANTERN
Lot: 345  Description: CONDUCTORS LANTERN - nickel plated brass single wire guard frame with chimney bale and twist off bell. Comes with clear wheel cut presentation globe issued to "Carl House" surrounded by floral wreath. Frame lid was reattached at some point however it is very loose. Considerable plate loss with brass showing through. Manufacturers marks are no longer visible but the patent dates of April 11, 1871 & May 2, 1871 are still visible. Globe is beautiful but does show a couple of small hard to see flake chips on bottom edge. A little TLC and you will have a treasure.
