Questions About Railroad And Indian
- 1stDibs ExpertOctober 7, 2024The difference between a railroad lamp and a lantern comes down to design and function. Railroad lamps are stationary lighting fixtures that were used to illuminate railroad tracks and platforms. They usually feature a heavy sheet or cast metal body and have lenses that make their lighting more intense. Intended to be portable, lanterns are generally smaller and usually feature a metal frame, a glass shade and no lenses. On 1stDibs, explore a selection of railroad lamps and lanterns.
- 1stDibs ExpertSeptember 23, 2024To identify a railroad pocket watch, first determine how you set and wind it. Most pocket watches have winding knobs, but railroad-grade timepieces were all made to be lever-set. To wind and set them, it's necessary to remove the bezel, so if your pocket watch has a winding knob, it's unlikely to be railroad-grade. There were also regulations concerning the numbers. All railroad-grade watches will have large black hour markers in Arabic, not Roman, numerals. Maker's markings may also provide a clue. Some well-known makers of railroad-grade pocket watches include Elgin, Hamilton, Waltham and E. Howard. For an expert opinion on your timepiece, have a certified appraiser or knowledgeable antiques dealer evaluate it. On 1stDibs, find a diverse assortment of railroad pocket watches.
- 1stDibs ExpertApril 5, 2022Watches that were approved by a railroad organization for use by their conductors were considered railroad approved or railroad graded. Of course, the railroads wanted to run on time and maintain a reputation for efficiency. By demanding that all of their employees use railroad graded watches meeting certain specifications, they could at least ensure the conductors knew the time accurately. Shop a collection of pocket watches from some of the world’s top sellers on 1stDibs.
- 1stDibs ExpertNovember 26, 2024To identify antique railroad lanterns, first see if you can locate a maker's mark on the bottom. Using trusted online resources, you can determine who produced your lantern based on these markings, and then you can research the company to find out when it was in business and making lanterns similar to yours. To be considered an antique, a railroad lantern must be at least 100 years old. If you can't find a maker's marking, it's generally necessary to use the characteristics of a lantern to date it. Because this can be difficult without experience and training, you may wish to seek the opinion of a certified appraiser or knowledgeable antique dealer when identifying unmarked railroad lanterns. Explore a selection of lanterns on 1stDibs.
