@Ray of sunshine posted:Her's my switch stand before (2015) and last month when I restored it. The lantern is marked for the CB&Q, I have the matching lock as well. I own 25 lanterns. My best deal was a Santa Fe bell bottom lantern with embossed globe marked "Santa Fe". A flee market find 20 years ago. It was marked $7.00 but I got it for $5.00! The lantern are globe are in excellent condition.
