Lantern & Globe Surveys
Key, Lock & Lantern

A&W Short Globe Lanterns


Following are known markings of "short-globe" lanterns, #200, #250, and "Kero" models, manufactured by the Adams & Westlake Company. Markings in blue are from the original "Key, Lock and Lantern" magazine articles. Please see copyright information and other comments in the footnotes. Markings in red are newly added since the survey information was published. Logo markings are those markings which incorporate artwork which was a trademark of the railroad, e.g., the Rock Island herald.

Footnotes:
  • This material is copyrighted by Key, Lock & Lantern, Inc. and cannot be reproduced or used for commercial purposes without express permission from the Board of Trustees . Special thanks to Ken Andrews and Hugh Guilaume for their efforts in compiling the original survey results.

  • All markings are reported as KL&L members have identified them. No attempt has been made to verify authenticity of any marking. The accuracy of this material is not guaranteed by Key, Lock & Lantern, Inc.

  • No ownership information is maintained with the survey listings. All new markings sent in for addition to the list are treated anonymously, and no ownership information will be disclosed.

  • Markings are shown as published in "Key, Lock and Lantern" (#79, Spring 1986, p. 1410; #84, Summer 1987, p. 1586), which presumably means the specific lettering that was found on the lanterns. Note that periods were left off in the #200 and #250 lists, although it's probably safe to assume that some markings include periods. Because of this ambiguity, we omit all periods. Matching the initials with a specific railroad can usually be done by consulting one of the railroad name references by Edson or Gross. However, sometimes there is ambiguity due to the fact that the same initials (e.g. B&A RR) may stand for more than one railroad (e.g., Boston & Albany Railroad or Bangor & Aroostook Railroad).
  • * Modern reproduction sold as a souvenir. The markings stand for "Golden Circle & San Juan Railroad, a fictitious line associated with the Colorado Railroad Museum.

  • ** There is a report of the "RR" showing up as "P.R." or "R.P." due to stamping errors.
