BEAUTIFUL 2 COLOR CONDUCTOR'S LANTERN GLOBE
BLUE AND CLEAR - ENGRAVED M.C.R.R.
5" HIGH, 2 1/4" TOP, 2 11/16" BOTTOM, APPROXIMATELY 4" ACROSS AT WIDEST POINT
THIS IS A VERY NICE CONDUCTORS LANTERN GLOBE, BLUE AND CLEAR WITH FANCY WHEEL CUT ENGRAVING. I AM NOT AN EXPERT ON THESE GLOBES, BUT I BELIEVE THIS IS A TWO PIECE (NOT FLASHED) GLOBE. THE TOP BLUE PART IS THICKER THAN THE CLEAR PART. THERE IS A "FLEA BITE" ON THE TOP RIM OF THE GLOBE AND THE GLASS APPEARS TO BE BLUE ALL THE WAY THROUGH. THE TOP EDGE LOOKS AS THOUGH IT WAS GROUND AND THE EDGE IS BLUE, NOT CLEAR.
I AM SURE IT IS A MICHIGAN CENTRAL GLOBE BECAUSE IT BELONGS TO AN OLDER WOMAN WHO GOT IT FROM HER GRANDFATHER WHO WORKED FOR THE MICHIGAN CENTRAL. UNFORTUNATELY, THE LANTERN IS APPARENTLY LONG GONE.
AS MENTIONED ABOVE THERE IS A "FLEA BITE" ON THE TOP RIM AND THERE ARE 2 CHIPS, EACH ABOUT 3/8" WIDE X 1/4" HIGH ON THE BOTTOM EDGE. I BELIEVE THESE WOULD BE NO SHOW IN A LANTERN. THE CHIPS AND THE FLEA BITE ARE ALL SHOWN IN DETAIL IN THE PICTURES.
