Description

I just want to know more about this lantern, manufacturer, model, some history. 

What i know at thist point. My uncle who died recently (2014) at the age of 92 used this lantern while he worked for the railroad out of  Lindsay California in the 50's, and perhaps the 60's. He did complete 40 years working for the Lindsay Packing plant in Lindsay having retired in his mid 60's..

I do not know which rail road or more details... Wished i did.
