    That’s very cool looking, and in great shape. Can’t wait to see the published book!

    Is that the one from the Missouri Mines State Historic Site in Park Hills?

    Yes, Art bought two 20 years ago at an auction and gave $100 each. One went to the museum and he kept the second one for his personal collection. He said multiple people came up to him afterwards wanting to buy one. I’ve been to many railroad antique shows and had never seen one before. He also says the museum has a MR&BT lantern.
