Keep in mind these are an antique so they are very old.

Adlake Kero "Version 3" Washington Terminal (W.T. Co.) Lantern / Red Finned Globe & Internal Adlake 300 Burner.
The lantern is embossed with the letters W.T. Co which is for Washington Terminal Company.
The fount is in great shape. The Burner is an Adlake 300 Burner and is also in great shape. The wick and wick adjustment knob easy to turn and clean. The globe is a red globe with no chips, fractures or cracks. Please refer to the pictures because the globe is in amazing shape for the age. There aren't any fractures, splits or chips in the globe.
"Version 3" was started around 1945. This is most noticeable because of the Lid Latch design. Specifically the lid latch (the one with a strip of steel and two rivets) became the "standard", replacing the bent wire spring. This had been a feature of most Armspear lanterns since the first "Model 1925" lantern. At the same time the dome was changed so that "ADLAKE KERO" was stamped into the top of the dome. Previous Kero's (Versions 1 & 2 ) were marked Adams & Westlake Co. on the skirt front of the lid. This style remained until about 1964 when the month and year lettering stamped under the pot holder was eliminated.
Also, The Washington Terminal Company was a corporation created in Washington, D.C., United States, to provide support to railroads using Washington's Union Station. It is now a nearly wholly owned subsidiary of Amtrak.
Again, this lantern was very clean and looks like it was used based on the fact that chimney is a little sooty. The inside of the fount has a kerosene oder. Again, still in great shape.
Please remember that this is an antique and has imperfections. Please refer to the pictures for details and ask more questions if you need additional information.
