Availability: 39 in stock

Condition: Good-Very Good overall antique cond: In just great shape, w/no significant, noticeable dents, dings, creases, tears or permutations to the tin's surfaces. Only some minor oxidation has slightly affected the curved shoulders of the top of this magnificent Boston & Maine Railroad car oil lamp tin fill can. It was most likely made from the late 19th-early 20th c, circa 1890-1915. The famous Boston & Maine RR was an important RR shipping route in the Northeast, connecting the capital of Boston, MA to Portland, ME. Soon thereafter, B & M RR acquired competitor's RR lines from Providence, RI to Boston, Worcester RR lines and east-west RR lines from Springfield to Boston. Not only did the B & M RR move literally tons of freight everyday & each night on their expansive RR lines, it began to move tens of thousands of New England commuters, rushing to & from work, carrying workers to many factories & mills located in industrial New England cities. A great B & M RR New England artifact. Terrific.

Boston and Maine Railroad
car oil lamp tin fill can.
It was most likely made from the

The famous

Providence, RI to Boston, MA, Worcester, MA
railroad lines and east-west railroad lines from
Springfield, MA to Boston.
Not only did the
B. & M. R. R.
move literally tons of freight everyday and each night on their expansive railroad lines, it began to move tens and then hundreds of thousands of
New England
commuters on a daily basis, rushing to and from work, carrying workers to many factories and mills located in many industrial New England cities. A great
B. & M. R. R.
New England railroad artifact.
Terrific.
