This is an authentic Norfolk & Western Railway Co. railroad lantern, featuring its original employee-issued identification label reading “C. K. Plasterer.” These named pieces are especially desirable, as they connect directly to the individual who used them on the railroad.
Manufactured in Lima, Ohio, a historic center of American railroad production, this lantern showcases heavy-duty industrial construction and a dual-bulb lighting system, both of which are in working condition.
The lantern retains its original metal body, protective guard, and handle, with honest wear consistent with decades of real railroad service. The patina tells its story and has not been overly cleaned or restored.
