LS&MS Ry fixed globe BTBB Bonnell & Gridley lantern made in Buffalo, NY around 1869. Flashed ruby globe with cast letters LS&MSRy is similar to Kelly-style globes. This lantern is an early predecessor to the "Prince" model made by successor Buffalo Steam Gauge & Lantern Co. The "Prince" featured a hinged cage, allowing the globe to be removed.

   LS&MS = Lake Shore and Michigan Southern Railway, right?

   I have an extensive collection of LS&MS railroad lanterns including a brass tagged inspectors lantaern marked LS&MS. I have been looking for a lantern of this vintage for about 5 years. Have not found one yet. This one is absolutely beautiful. I live in Ashtabula Ohio, which is the home of the infamous LS&MS Railroad disaster. There are still artifacts to be found around the old disaster site which myself and other collectors still dig.
