Cool thread. I'm a bit late to the game, but his is why I think that Pinside is so awesome. We come from all over and have such diverse hobbies and interests, including pinball! Anyhow, I was hoping someone could let me know a little more about this CNR lantern we've had forever. It appears to be manufactured by Hiram L. Piper of Montreal and is oil with glass lenses. (one red, three blue/green) My parents got it +40 years ago when they lived up in Canada-either in Halifax or Ontario (I'll have to ask) and it's currently in my possession. Yeah, it's old tech, but you guys seem to know your stuff and I wonder what stories this lantern could tell. What was it's purpose/function, any information or places to start researching would be appreciated. Thanks!
