Question about Maine Central lanterns...

  by NellsChoo
 
Is anyone here a lantern collector, and if so, does anyone know how to tell a Maine Central lantern from a Michigan Central one? It seems both lines may have marked them "MCRR".

HELP!

Good morning,
I'm not sure but I would guess that if it were indeed a maine central lantern, it would be labeled 'MEC' as opposed to "MC"

I have seen lanterns marked MAINE CENTRAL on the frame, but with globes that say MCRR... thus feeding the confusion when you see a frame & globe marked MCRR...
