Lantern - brass metal

Very rare!

Attention to railway object collectors (ferroviphiles) and fans of beautiful industrial decoration!
I am selling an authentic acetylene railway lantern (carbide lamp), manufactured and used before 1938 (pre-SNCF era). A magnificent testament to the history of French industrial heritage.
Characteristics and historical details:
Origin prestigious: It bears its original brass plate engraved “Établissements Albert Butin, 35 rue des Martyrs - Paris”, a famous engineer and supplier to the major French networks.
Historic network marking: Monogram “P.O.” (Compagnie du Chemin de Fer de Paris à Orléans) superbly perforated on the upper chimney.
Era: Dated from the 1910s to the 1930s (century-old piece).
Double front glass present.
A flaw on the inner glass.

Height with the handle: 26 cm
