Canadian National Piper/Adlake Trainman's Lantern is a classic hand lantern with red globe, possibly used by a trainman to protect the rear of stopped trains, or a switch or crossing tender. The top is inscribed "Hiram L. Piper Co Ltd" and "CNR" and the underside is marked "Adlake 4-61 PATENTED". The burner font is also marked "Adlake". The globe is embossed "ADLAKE KERO". The lamp is solid, with no loose or missing parts, no rust and only a few minor "dings" one might expect from normal use. It has a standard oil pot - the wick appears new and may have only been "test fired". The globe is fully intact with virtually no chipping other than one small chip on the bottom edge surface. Please examine the photos carefully. I think you will agree that this lamp is an outstanding relic of the era before radio dispatching, when "vans" brought up the rear of freight trains. 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.
