square end panel and corning trademark. Slight yellowing
from age but remains clear and beautiful. This set is one
of the best examples of originality and condition we've

This
Adams & Westlake THE ADAMS patent 1897 wire bottom frame
is definitely a higher grade specimen compared to most that
are found. It has a nice darker patina with some light surface
rust easily removed. The frame is not repaired, save for
a resoldered original lid latch. The correct and original
twist off fount is in excellent condition as is the classic
pick wick burner.
The
globe is clear cast and extended base 1890's vintage globe
to match the frame. A very strong cast serif NPRR in a rectangular
panel. The globe is nearly perfect with only minor rim nicks.
A very nice early example from the pre-1900 era.

SOUTHERN
PACIFIC COMPANY
Item
# 13279
Adams
& Westlake THE ADAMS patent 1897 wire bottom frame.
This lantern frame is beautifully marked SPCo in large letters
on the lid and is in surprisingly little used condition.
The lid shows a great eye appealing patina over original
tinning and that theme continues onto the lower globe seat
and waste area where 100% of the original tinning, bright
and shiny, remains. The fuel font shows the same overall
patina as the lid. The frame is tight and undamaged.
The
globe is a clear cast 6" globe marked SPCo. Some light
speculation as it appears that the mold on the o was nearly
obliterated making the globe appear to only read SPC for
South Pacific Coast, but indeed it does have enough evidence
that the o exists to dispel any though of it being from
the SPC. The globe is undamaged and in excellent condition
overall with minor chips. Given that these globes have a
mediocre history of survival at best, this one stands out
as an excellent survivor. Great lantern that will happily
surprise you.

WELLS
FARGO & COMPANY EXPRESS
Item
# 13275
One
of the most recognizable names from the American West that
endures in the history and lore of the frontier era is the
name Wells Fargo. Founded in 1851 Wells Fargo & Co's
Express Company became the iconic symbol of westward expansion
having offices in many a railroad depot across the plains
and mountain territory. This lantern is an amazing part
of that history albeit from a bit more modern era. This
Adlake reliable frame is in wonderful original condition
with an abundance of tinning and no rust Marked on the lid
WF&CO EXP, it has all original components and is undamaged.
The
globe although impressive with large WF&CO EXP. in large
letters is a red corning original globe, but the markings
are unmistakably not period correct. In fact there are no
known examples of any authentic Wells Fargo globes in any
other color than white (clear) to our knowledge. Even with
the facts regarding the color and markings on the glass,
the history of the lantern itself stands alone and is worthy
of consideration for any advance express collection.

# 13273
Adlake
model 1913 Reliable frame in excellent original
condition. This frame is nice and solid with
lots of original tinning left and is the style
with the trolley marker bracket integrated making
the frame a bit more interesting. Light surface
rust in places on the lid, little if any pitting
and an as-found appearance make this an eye
appealing frame.
The
globe is a clear cast corning version globe
with hallmark on the back and a nicely struck
HVRy cast in an oval panel on the front. Minor
chips and dings in the rims is all that is of
note. This is a great lantern from a popular
Ohio line.

OREGON
WASHINGTON RAILROAD & NAVIGATION CO.
Item
# 13272
OWRR&NCO
in small letters on the shoulder of this 1909
A&W ADAMS frame. Really a pretty hard to find
frame and one of the earliest from the OW as it
also added the W to the name in 1909. This frame
is pretty remarkable with about 80% of the original
tinning left in place over the last 100+ years.
The bail catch is missing one ear and that's the
only thing of note with this beautiful example.
The
globe is an early 1902 corning globe that is red
flashed instead of solid red glass. This is such
a heartbreaker because of the few known examples
of red flashed globes from this road, perhaps
less than a half dozen, this one has remarkably
heavy lettering but two cracks, one in front and
one in back which appear heat induced prevent
this from being perfect. None-the-less, the globe
remains in one piece and is worthy of consideration
given the rarity and the relative value for the
price.

Item
# 13083
This
pre-1895 Adams round wire frame with twist off
pot is marked FE&MVRR in large letters on
the lid. Just a perfect patina on this all original
frame. No problems to note. This frame is drop
dead gorgeous.
The
globe is a clear cast extended base early small
serif letter globe cast C&NWRy in a square
end panel. A decent match for this frame since
C&NW bought the Fremont in the early 20th
century. If you have a Fremont globe talk to us
and we will sell each piece separate for those
who are looking to complete a set.
