Clearly, if you want something to go with your ancient giant hinge (see April 10, 2006 entry) you would of course choose a railway lantern! Mike spotted this at the Enschede market this weekend and could not resist. According to the seller it is a working model, but we are not about to pour oil into it any time soon. We love the zandloper motif (that is hourglass to you)-- it shows up a lot here, and Mike even chose it as one of the shapes for the panels on the balustrade of our staircase. Staircase is not finished yet-- but rest assured we will blog about it when it is!

Now that I know you are into old lanterns, we will save the old one we have and put it in with your "Stuff" New pictures of James D are super cool.
I love the lantern, it is really unique, and will certainly complement the giant hinge. Just think of the story you will be able to tell for years to come....
Neat lantern - I think it would be cool to test it out.
