    Not a rairoad guy, but loved these lanterns, so as they say I had to have them. I have another to follow. Someone said this may be a switch lantern?
    Got it really cheap, do they have any value?

      I've seen this exact one in an old cowboy black 'n white movie not long ago. I love it.

      actually this and the other lantern were in the same movie as the top hat box. they put all that fake patena on them, that it makes it twice as hard to restore. but, i'm getting started, found some original lenses and a burner. it will be pretty cool when I'm through.
      If you ever run across a Rogers Peet top hat in your travels let me know, I'd like to get one for the hat box

      I Like But What Is? Non Sweating"??....To The Lamp Of Course.
      Thanks For Sharing.

      i believe it means it won't form condensation on those cold mornings, thereby not dripping down and putting out the flame. important especially on switch lamps, where they sat unattended for long periods out on the tracks. Maybe some railroads folks could shed more light
    5. DMK678 DMK678, 13 years ago
      Ah !!! Makes sense. Thanks
      Cheers.

      whats the value on a pair of them, their in better condition then shown above. not much better though. one has a cracked lense i would like to replace
    7. senor_trunk senor_trunk, 13 years ago
      they can run any where from 50 to 300 or more depending on condition.
      there are several places that buy sell and auction them.
      ill try to find some links

      as you can see some of these go for low prices, its mostly the love of bringing something back so others can enjoy
      kinda like trunks
    11. rob, 13 years ago
      I agree. Their my fathers and he's hurting for money and he thinks their worth 300 a piece. I think he should restore them but.he wants to sell. So I was inquiring for him. They are nice. I will post a pic, I appreciate them as part of history and would like to use them as decoration. I'm sure there's a story behind them left to imagination.
    12. senor_trunk senor_trunk, 13 years ago
      one more, this one restored, not 300 dollars unfortunately
      maybe the market will pick up again

      yes, non sweating means that it wont drip and put the flame out, but it also means that condensation wont form on the lenses, as not to distort/block the light
