Lot 173: A Pair of Vintage Chalwyn Red-Painted Metal Railroad Signal Lamps

A pair of English red-painted metal industrial signal lamps. Each lamp is constructed with a square body, a curved upper section, and a curved metal carry handle. The side of one lamp body is embossed with the characters CHALWYN and MADE IN ENGLAND. The circular metal bezels holding the glass lenses are also embossed with the name CHALWYN. One lamp features a dark red glass lens, while the other has a black glass lens. These lanterns are consistent with industrial signalling equipment used for railway or roadworks.
