Great find and nice idea for the word!

A vintage railroad lantern? I have a collection of antique lanterns. The glass in this one is almost like the glass used in the old ship lanterns, except the body would be brass. Really a nice look at it with this clear, precisely focused view. V

Maybe for surveying/signal use, really a nice find. Subtle, but perfect colors. V

I think its a gas lamp, riding out storms! Wishing you a quiet time for Christmas! V.

I guess you need this kind of lamp (which I have never seen before) when the electricity falls out due to weather circumstances. A wonderful close up!

Makes me think of a beacon, a welcome light on a dark night, or beckoning shelter from the storm. Very nice, Karen. VV

Is it an old mining lamp, Karen?
It is nice with the blue glass.
