Post & Company # 6 Railroad Wall Lamp Restoration
Here is a Post & Company # 6 Railroad Wall Lamp I just restored for our collection. Although the fount is marked Adams & Westlake, I have only yet found the lamp in a Post & Company Catalog from the 1870’s or so. It’s possible Adams & Westlake resold this lamp, and soldered their badge on the bottom. I never desoldered that badge so it may just be stamped Post & Co on the bottom.
The Lamp fount has a press fit down into a shell that friction fits the fount into place. Looking at the hole placement for mounting, this lamp would be a bit of a paint to mount properly as the holes are close to the bracket and fount holder.
I do have a similar chimney holder to that in the photo that I plan to restore and pair with this lamp.
