    Another railroad lamp. I am an active railroader; fourth generation, and my dad has a couple of these in his house.
    This is a switch lamp. It sat on the top of rail switches at night to signal which way the switch is lined. When you throw the switch, you lift up on a handle, turn the whole thing 1/4 turn, and push it back down again. So, the lamp is white when lined straight, or red when lined the other way. On a switch lead (a track with several switches in a row) a switchman can tell which tracks he is lined for from the top of the lead. Then he can kick cars (send them rolling free) down the lead and know which track they will go down without walking all the way down to inspect.
    We have electric switches in some yards with an electric lamp (switch indicator light) on each switch nowadays.
    Great job.

      The original Green Lantern comic book character (1940) carried a Power Battery for his ring that was a railroad lamp. The metal that made up that lamp actually came from a meteorite spiked with magic. (Don't ask -- the background behind that is a headache and the storyline gets altered every 20 years!)
      When I saw this lamp, it automatically reminded me of Green Lantern/Alan Scott.

    Watching my Dad do all kind of "fix-it" chores is how I learned a TON of stuff. Some people don't have that pleasure now a days. You are helping a multitude of people learn how to reuse stuff instead of buying a new and a feeling of accomplishment. Love your videos and by the way, I am a retired women.

    It's funny because I usually have a love for things that look old and worn, like they were used a lot. But with your videos it's just so satisfying to see everything fresh and shiny again. I like to imagine that the things you've restored feel like someone going out in their best Sunday frock after a makeover for the first time in years, refreshed and confident. Just lovely.

    I sat here quietly for 10 minutes and 33 seconds then cried out Awwwww. I actually like the color, rather unique. When I was 12 years old, I went to say with my grandfather in Houston to ride out a hurricane in 1982. He has a bunch of old oil lamps and we lit them when the storm knocked the power out. Fun memories. Thanks.

    Beautiful work. If I did this stuff, I'd have to have a glass factory close by to replace all the glass I'd break. I'm a DYIer but haven't tackled restoration. I don't have many of the tools you have, so I DYI vicariously through you. I learned a lot of repair work and the interest in doing it, literally at the feet of my dad. I was usually the flashlight holder if we were working in a dark place. But, I learned a lot, especially the will just to DO repairs and builds myself. I've saved a LOT of money over the decades.

    Because it has a side mount bracket (where the screws fits into the slot flange), and a red side marker window I would say it is a vehicle lamp (not necessarily an automobile), also this would be a right hand side lamp, the reverse image lamp would be for left side (otherwise white light would face to the rear). If it also had a green window it could have been a ships lamp, or possible railway lamp. Came out nice, but why pop rivets (real rivets are common & authentic), purple paint (dark green-safety red-orange O/K), buy some kerosine (or coal oil) lighter fluid too volatile? It's was a nice vintage lamp, now looks like made new in India for the $ store market.

      @@jeffw8057 Lead Paint was extremely common back in the good ol' days. The point is to strip the toxic material off before sandblasting so you don't generate a ton of toxic lead paint particles in your blasting hood, as airborne particles are harder and more dangerous to deal with than stripped sludge.

    1. Зачем сначала снимать краску смывкой, а потом делать дробеструйку? Зачем двойная работа?
    2. Вместо аутентичных сплошных стальных заклепок поставил алюминиевый ширпотреб. Это ужасно выглядит.

      1. Чтобы крупные хлопья краски не забивали фильтры пескоструйки. Я тоже так делаю, гораздо реже приходится их чистить.
      2. Вот тут да. Заклёпки вообще зло, весь крепёж должен быть съёмный. Надо ведь немного думать и о том, кто будет восстанавливать лампу в следующий раз...

    Awesome and enjoyable to watch, always. The red glass color reminds me that it's partly the reason why we have the term "Red light Disrict", though railroad workers would have a full red lantern, sitting on the porch of brothels, they'd visit. Keep'em coning.
