- Description
- A Candle Lamp for use in a dark room. The foundation of the Candle Lamp consists of a square metal base (a) (8.5 X 8.5 X0.9 cm), which contains a raised circular ring that serves to hold the candle (b) (4.0 cm diameter X 1.0 cm height) in place. Once the lit candle is mounted on the metal base, the collapsible red canvas housing (c) (15.2 X 8.0 X 0.5 cm) is raised around it and another square metal piece (d) (8.7 X 8.8 X0.7 cm) is placed on top. The top piece functions as a chimney and has circular opening in the center, allowing smoke to exit and air to enter the lamp in order to fuel the flame.Centered near the top on one face of the red canvas housing there is black text that reads: “THE KODAK CANDLE LAMP”; “MADE IN U.S.A. BY THE EASTMAN KODAK COMPANY ROCHESTER. N.Y”. At the bottom of this face, on the metal frame, is a silver sticker with a black border and black text that reads: “SOLE(?) DISTRIBUTOR(?) IN CANADA CANADIAN KODAK CO., LIMITED”. In the 1914 issue of the Kodak Catalogue, the cost of this candle lamp was $0.25.

- 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.

- Description
- One black metal Armspear “1925” railway signal lantern with a beveled red glass globe. Imprinted on the top of the chimney is “ARMSPEAR M’F’G. CO. 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.
