The globe and lantern frame do not match: UP stands for Union Pacific Railroad, while C&C RR indicates the “Carson & Colorado Railroad.” In 1892, the Carson & Colorado Railroad was reorganized as the Carson & Colorado Railway. The Adlake Reliable lantern, coveted for its rarity and style, was made from 1912 through 1925. This lantern stands 10” tall, without bail. “The Adams & Westlake Company-New York-” is embossed around the outer rim of the lid’s ventilator top, surrounding an additional “U.P./ Adlake Reliable” embossing. Along the outermost rim of the lid is embossed “Pat’d . 5.5.1908-1.26.1909-9.21.1909 11.28.1911-7.2.1912-4.1.1913-5.9.1922-CAN.1921-1923-Pats. Pending”. The lantern comes with a 5 3/8" tall Corning red globe with “C & C. R. R” hand engraved in script lettering. The globe is trapped inside the frame. The bottom of the globe is chipped in seven places, and the top of the globe several small chips and dings in the rim. The globe cap is rusted, but intact, and secures to the lantern lid with a spring-and-clip mechanism. Wire cage. Lantern also includes a drop-in “Adlake” burner with an “APR.27.1909” patent mark. Will still hold oil and burn! Metal, tin finish, rusted along foot, frame, and bail, which is bent out of shape. - Jacobitz Collection -59660
