A scarce New England Glass brass top bell bottom model with double globe guard. "F. R. R." is nicely embossed in serif font on both the lid reflector and base. Base is NEG style plug-in with unique pinch spring assembly and a glass fount with No. 1 twin tube whale oil burner. These are usually stamped with NEG patent dates, but this one does not have the dates. The clear globe is a unique barrel style, embossed "FRR" and "LOCO DEPT" in block fount. There is a 2" tight crack next to the right seam that starts from a top fitter chip. This is not distracting and isn't seen on forward display. Metal has light surface etching and a nice patina.
Condition: (Very Good).
Item Dimensions: 11" x 7 - 1/2" x 7 - 1/2".
