<p>[QUOTE="evelyb30, post: 33905, member: 36"]Looks like a caboose light, but if so it's in really rough shape. Parts are missing, the glass is busted and the wrong color into the bargain. It's also flat instead of convex like lantern glass is supposed to be. The poor thing looks like something off the CNE; the Central New England were a bunch of cheapskates who never marked their stuff and beat it to death. Most short lines did the same, so there's no way to be sure which road it came from. They were generally marked on the top...the part your light is missing. Here's an old closed auction on Worthpoint. <a href="http://www.worthpoint.com/worthopedia/pair-of-railroad-adlake-chicago-caboose-lantern" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://www.worthpoint.com/worthopedia/pair-of-railroad-adlake-chicago-caboose-lantern" rel="nofollow">http://www.worthpoint.com/worthopedia/pair-of-railroad-adlake-chicago-caboose-lantern</a>[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
