Description from the seller

This handrail railway lantern, dating from the 19th century to the early 20th century, is a historical piece that reflects the practical and robust engineering of the steam era. Its metallic body, rectangular in shape, is designed to withstand the demanding conditions of the railway environment. On its sides, the signaling crystals are preserved, one transparent and the other red, used to indicate maneuvers or positions on the track.

The top part features a solid handle for carrying, and ventilation holes that allowed heat dissipation generated by the original flame. At the back, the patent number is clearly distinguished, adding documentary value and authenticity to the piece, linking it to its manufacturer and period of production.

It is ideal for collectors, museums, or themed spaces that celebrate the history of transportation.

Certified shipping and good packaging.
