Green (Teal) Kopp Glass Globe for "Shorty" Railroad Lantern

Collectibles : Railroadiana : Hardware : Lantern : Lamp : Glass : Globe

 

Here is a very nice green (teal) globe that will upgrade a good short-globe RR lantern. It was made by the Kopp Company and will fit an Adlake Kero or several other different makes. This particular globe is a great color, good and deep, the glass is just a bit more green than it is blue.

This is an authentic, vintage railroad globe - it is NOT a new repro. It is cast with the Kopp logo "Circle K" at the top.

This globe is approximately 3-3/8 inches tall and 3-1/4 rim diameter. It is in super nice condition with no cracks or chips, and no cloudiness of the glass. It does have the usual light rim scuffs expected from use, that do not detract.
