Adams & Westlake "The Adams" Lake Shore & Michigan Southern Railway Railroad Lantern W/ Cast Globe Adams & Westlake "The Adams" lantern with LSMS RY embossed on the shoulder and LS&MS RY cast on the clear globe. Latest patent date on the rim of the shoulder reads Jan 26, 1909. Double-wire guard body is in good shape with a small spot of orange residue on the top of the chimney and some small spots of surface rust. A burner pot and fount are present, though the pot looks too small to be original to the lantern. The tall clear CNX globe has LS&MS Ry cast in a rectangular panel on the front. There are several pock marks on the globe's surface as well as moderate chipping around the rims, including a 3/4" shallow chip off the top rim. Globe is also slightly yellow discolored. Please see photos for best description.
