10: A RARE LANTERN WITH TALL RED GLOBE CAST D & R G RR

The brass top wire frame with stamped maker's mark of M,M, BUCK ST. LOUIS on the brass release strap and embossed railroad marking of D. & R.G.R.R. on the bell bottom foot; rare tall extended lip cased red glass globe with large fancy embossed serif style letters having fancy extended tails creating the railroad marking of D & R G RR in high relief within a rectangular panel, circa 1890.
Very good condition, noting the three minor dents in the brass cap, nice overall frame surface and condition. The globe is in very good condition, noting two chips from the top rim 9one inside) and four small flakes from the inside of the bottom rim most likely due to the process of shearing and grinding the glass rims during original manufacture.
