C. T. HAM NO. 3 BRASS CONDUCTOR'S LANTERN WITH ENGRAVED, BLUE/CLEAR GLOBE.
This lot is closed for bidding. Bidding ended on 12/9/2020
This is a standard No. 3 brass conductor's model. It was nickel plated originally but the plating is mostly gone, leaving a dull, gold patina. The lantern is missing the screw-in fount. The globe is a stunning cobalt blue over clear example that is copper wheel engraved "F. C. Tewksbury" surrounded by an intricate, floral cartouche. The globe is nearly perfect, with no damage to the rims. Overall condition is excellent despite plating loss and missing fount. Scale rating is 9.
Condition: (Excellent).
Item Dimensions: 10 - 1/2" x 5 - 5/8" x 5 - 5/8".
