    My husband is a retired locomotive engineer who worked for Union Pacific. When we found this lamp at a shop in town, I thought he should have it. Someone built a lamp out of a spittoon. Clever. I found no other markings other than the RR logo.

      I think mine, with a different logo, said Taiwan on a sticker on the bottom.
      Is it cemented in?
