Railway Lantern – Model 106
This is a vintage railway lantern, identified by the model number 106. The lantern features a robust metal construction, painted in a faded yellow finish, typical of railway signalling equipment. It has a hinged front panel with a clear glass lens, designed to house a light source for signalling purposes. The handle at the top suggests it was designed to be carried or hung, likely used by railway personnel for track inspection or as a warning signal.
Condition and Collectibility
The lantern shows signs of age and use, with surface wear, rust, and paint loss consistent with its vintage. The glass lens is present, though may exhibit some scratches or clouding. Despite its condition, this lantern is a desirable piece for railway enthusiasts and collectors of vintage signalling equipment. Its original features and historical significance make it a unique addition to any collection.
