Adams & Westlake Bell Bottom Lantern Delaware & Hudson Up until it's acquisition by Canadian Pacific in 1991, the Delaware & Hudson was the oldest transportation company in America still operating under its original name, tracing back to the D&H Canal, chartered in 1823. This lantern has the unusual "bell bottom" design giving it excellent stability, and still retains much of the apparently original finish which may have been a grey or olive color. Unlike most lanterns I have seen, the handle cannot be locked in an upright position. The latest patent date shown is 1895, which indicates that the lantern may be over 100 years old. The lamp body is solid, with no loose parts. The clear globe, with its cast-in "The D&H" in script lettering, is in near-perfect condition. Please examine the photos carefully before bidding. I think that you will agree that this is an interesting and historic old lamp in truely remarkable condition for its age. That's all the descriptive data folks, but I strongly recommend that you read the following "fine print" carefully before bidding PAYMENT Unfortunately, I must collect 7% Sales Tax from my beleagured fellow New Jerseyites. AT END OF AUCTION: If you are currently high bidder on another item , I will delay sending an invoice until that auction has ended. If you are bidding or planning to bid on additional active items, do not complete checkout , but LET ME KNOW and I will hold your item for combined checkout. Otherwise, I will send you a Winner's Notice / Invoice at end of auction with a link to eBay checkout. Regardless of how you plan to pay, Please click the "Pay Now" link to indicate your method of payment. If I do not receive payment or some sort of response within 7 days of sale, I WILL file a non-payment dispute with eBay. PAYMENTS : I accept PayPal and just about anything else that will fit through an ATM slot and not bite me, even good old US currency (sent at YOUR risk). I DO NOT accept postage stamps, IOU's, livestock, live or dressed poultry, offspring regardless of birth order, or indentures of servitude. PERSONAL CHECKS : I don't mean to be rude, but I HAVE been stung once by a buyer who's check bounced. Unfortunately (for both of us), it turned out he had died! Checks must be printed with BUYER's Name and Address - THIRD PARTY CHECKS accepted from TCA members ONLY. TCA MEMBERS , write your TCA number on the check and I will ship on reciept of payment. Otherwise, shipment will be delayed up to 5 business days of receipt until the check clears. If your check bounces, and you're still alive, I will hold you responsible for the fee my bank charges. SHIPPING I consider it unethical (and just downright sneaky!) to use shipping and handling as a profit base! Due to confusion caused by the new USPS rates, I am estimating higher shipping costs then previously. This is the MAXIMUM AMOUNT, actual shipping cost may be less . If you wish to pay immediately feel free to do so - I WILL REFUND ANY EXCESS SHIPPING PAID! (International refunds in US Currency or through PayPal only.) You pay only the actual cost of shipping , plus a really low $1.00 packaging fee, $2.00 international - that money helps pay for the miles of tape I use to seal your package! Unless you request otherwise, I will specify shipping by USPS PRIORITY MAIL. You are free to choose an alternate method . INSURANCE IS REQUIRED ON ALL INTERNATIONAL SHIPMENTS, and on domestic items costing $100.00 or more. OUTSIDE USA - I will ship anyw that USPS allows, but the buyer is responsible for ALL shipping costs, customs fees, etc. You should check your local customs regulations ! Some countries charge significantly different duties for "toys" versus "scale models". I will also declare all items as "Used Goods". I am also willing to reduce the declared value in keeping with "market value", but I WILL NOT declare any item a gift! First Class Internati... read more
