- Description
- One red-painted Trulite kerosene lantern. The lantern’s glass is a “short globe” one, a design that emerged around 1913 that made the globe easier to clean and less likely to crack. This lantern is possibly one of the earlier Trulite designs as its chimney lifts up away from the globe instead of down, a feature that proved unpopular and was quickly fazed out. In addition to the rising chimney, the globe can also be rotated to the side by pulling a small lever. Inside the globe are two unused wicks, one of which is free-floating. “MADE IN CANADA” is molded into the globe and “Trulite” is faintly visible on the chimney.

NEW YORK ‘1925’” and on the wide rim below that is “A.C.L” - meaning that this lantern belonged to the Atlantic Coast Line railroad of Southeastern United States. The body of the lantern is surrounded by a thick wire cage onto which the carry handle is also attached. The lantern’s chimney lifts away from the globe on a hinge, revealing a used wick inside - the wick can be lowered or raised by turning a small round key in the lower part of the lantern. The red glass would have been used by rail lines to signal a stop or danger on the track before the introduction of wireless radio communication.

Small pieces of red felt decorated with blue and black beads mimic moccasins on the doll’s feet. The doll’s face is stitched on with black thread and it has long black braided [human?] hair tied with short strips of red fabric. There is also a small ponytail tied with red fabric sticking up the top of the head - to either side of this ponytail are beaded strings that frame the face. The leg and arm joints are thinned so that the limbs have basic mobility, but are not fully articulated.
