Description
This is a Colorado Springs and Cripple Creek District Railway Adlake Reliable switchmans lantern. Known for years as the High Line and Low Line, this narrow gauge three foot railroad transferred thousands of workers daily on dozens of trains back and forth between the gold mines of the Cripple Creek and Victor, Colorado area. The lantern is cast with C.S & C.C.D.RY on the rim, and has patent dates of 1908, 1909, 1911, 1912, and 1913. Super rare and impossible to find, this example has excellent original tin throughout! Absolutely stunning, with no rust, even on the globe retainer! Correct original fount and an Armspear brass burner, plus an excellent red Corning CNX cast globe. Don’t miss out on this one, as it is the finest specimen of this lantern we have ever seen! Originally obtained by the consignor from the collection of a long time well-known Western/Colorado railroad enthusiast.
