Rare 1800s Dayton Railroad Dining Car Sconce

This is one of the rare early decorative train car lamps That we acquired from an important collection. Few of these luxury class Victorian RR lamps still exist. Any remaining examples have found their way into museums some time ago. This was the type and quality wall lamp used in private luxury Pullman cars of that era. They were also part of the elaborate personal train cars built for The Rockefeller’s and Vanderbilt’s. This is a beautiful original sconce with ehe original Milk glass shade and small glass bottom drip cup. Everything was carefully wired to preserve the original character of this beautiful piece of railroad history. It now used a standard E26 bulb. I don’t see a makers mark but believe it was made by the Dayton Manufacturing Company…. 17.5″x 18.5″ tall x 10″… $1800
