NEW YORK LAKE ERIE & WESTERN 1889 A&W CLEAR CAST EXTENDED BASE GLOBE RAILROAD LANTERN . The frame is a last patent date 1889 Adams & Westlake, stamped boldly on the lid, "N.Y.L.E&W.R.R" for the famous New York Lake Erie & Western Railroad. Wire bottom version, twist off pot, and side marked on the lid, the frame is in EXCELLENT condition with a beautiful, chocolate patina. Very smooth and no pitting on the lid with the exception of just the very top of the dome. Great, uncleaned surface! The letters for road and manufacturer are nice and crisp. The frame is complete with the twist off pot, burner included. The pot appears to be a 1897 A&W model, but has most likely been with this frame for a long time, as the patina matches perfectly. Either an owner from long ago or the employee back in the day etched his initials very faintly in the fount, as well as what appears to be a social security number on the inside of the lid. Kind of an odd feature, but interesting and does not really take away from the lantern. The set features a very nice, clear cast extended base globe, embossed, "NYLE&WRR" in gorgeous serifs. There is unfortunately a small chunk out of the side of the globe. Thankfully it is away from the embossing and still displays well. It is actually harder to see when placed inside the frame. Excellent set with a gorgeous frame
