This is a wonderfully old dead flame Dressel Arlington, N.J. Railroad lantern. A dead flame lantern protects the flame with air going through vents and out the chimney. The company was founded by George Dressel in the 1880's and focused primarily on the railroad lamp market. The F.H. Lovell Company acquired the Dressel Railway Lamp Works in the 1920's but continued to use the Dressel name in marketing. Eventually the name was changed to the Lovell-Dressel Company, and in the late 1960's the company was absorbed into the Adams & Westlake Company. The lantern has a yellow globe free of any markings except for an oval "box" raised without any embossing and the Corning CNX Trademark. The top of the lanterns chimney has the following in raised letters DRESSEL, ARLINGTON, N.J. with the Pennsylvania Railroad symbol on top. The lantern is in A- condition, weighs almost 2.5 lbs. and stands over 15 from the base to the top of the handle and over 9.5 from the base to the top of the chimney.
