Three railroad lanterns and a collection of lantern parts. Includes three assembled lanterns with globes. Lanterns appear mostly complete, though one of the round-base lanterns is unmarked. The other round-base lantern has "Pat June 30th 1907" and "Pat July 29th 1890" embossed on the top. On the bottom, only the embossed "ULL'S" can be made out. The rectangular-base lantern has the Dietz logo embossed on the top, along with "State of Pa." All lanterns need cleaning and all have light dents. Lantern parts include five lantern tops in varying states of completion. One is from the Erie Railroad and is embossed with the "ERIE R.R." lettering, and another is from the Southern Railway and is embossed with "S RY". Also includes many pieces of lantern wick holders and founts. All parts and all but one of the complete lanterns have some amount of rust. See photos for better description.
