BARON BRASS TOP LANTERN
(Item: CAT56/LOT354)

BARON- brass top bell bottom lantern. Unusual frame in great shape. There is no globe retainer. At one point someone made a plug, apparently from styrofoam, and covered the bottom with a piece of black painted cardboard. This acts as a globe retainer, does not show and works fine. It could easily be removed if a globe retainer were found. The brass locking strap is engraved, “CSS&AL BARON PATENTED OCT. 18. 1870. MAY 11. 1875”. The locking strap is mounted on the frame rather than on the bell. Comes with deep ruby red extended base globe.

MINIMUM BID $175
