The last patent date on the lid is April 1st, 1913. Stamped on the outside of lid is the number "438." The lantern comes with an Adlake pot & burner that is in near mint condition. The pot is embossed on the top "Adlake, Adams & Westlake Co., New York, Chicago, Phila." with the last patent date of April 1st, 1913. The burner is marked "Adlake, Pat. Apr. 27, 1909."

The F&CCRR operated from 1892 to 1917, and ran from Florence, through Phantom Canyon, to Cripple Creek, Colorado. A small narrow gauge railroad, known as "the Gold Belt Line," with but 42 miles of track, yet it is very rich in Colorado railroad history & heritage!
