Description
Boston & Maine Railroad - Star Headlight 6" steeltop bellbottom railroad lantern. The frame is a nice Star Headlight with their name stamped across the vent area. The B&MRR stamping on the lid is definitely a factory done job. It is standard Star Headlight lettering with straight legs on the “R”s. The frame is standard with a twist off bell with a glass fount and a Simplex brass burner. The frame shines. The globe is a fine 6" barrel with B&MRR red cast in fancy lettering in a square end panel. A fine globe with none of the typical flakes off the rims. The red is a thin coating applied to the interior of a clear globe. This was done in the 1800s to save money. Red glass was very expensive at that time.
