An early, unguarded, fixed globe model, likely made by the New England Glass Co., ca. early 1860s. The globe is an early solid red, gold salt ruby (sometimes called cranberry) example, beautifully engraved "N.R.R." The tin chimney and base assemblies are fixed by old original plaster to the globe's top and bottom fitters. There is star-diamond-star vent filigree characteristic of NEG models. The fixed base is attached via old original plaster to the globe's bottom fitter. The plug-in oil cup with glass fount and twin-tube burner is intact. This unit is complete with a standard tin bracelet bail. Metal pieces show deteriorated original japanning with bright tin plating showing. This is a great, early New England railroad lantern.
Condition: (Very Good).
Item Dimensions: 4" x 4" x 11".
