The Rose & Crown Pub stands ready for the lunchtime rush. Bangers and Mash washed down with a pint of Boddington's sounds good right about now, eh?
Built in 1832, Gainsborough's Half Moon has sadly been closed for some years now, and is rapidly falling towards dereliction. In the early 1990s it was a thriving pub, but was sold to a management company who ran it into the ground. I doubt very much that anyone will ever sell a pint of beer again from the 'Moon.

Palais Augarten - "a place of recreation" for Archduke Otto
Hierarchies, pecking orders, family traditions also determined the homes of family members. Yet why was Archduke Otto in the Augarten comfortabler living than the heir to the throne?
The site on which there is the Palais Augarten until today, served the Habsburgs yet at the beginning of the 17th Century as a hunting ground. Joseph II bought the site together with the palace and had thereon expanded this. In the same year, in 1775, he made ​​his nickname of "people's emperor" all honor and made the park accessible to the population. "All people dedicated Erlustigungs (enjoyment) site of their cherisher," the Regent let, as there is still read today, write for the occasion on the front gate of the Augarten.
From 1860 to 1863, the brother of Franz Joseph Karl Ludwig lived in the Augarten Palace. 1867, High Steward Konstantin Prince Hohenlohe moved to the Augarten. Under him, and especially thanks to his wife, the estate has developed into a cultural center frequented by famous people such as Richard Wagner, Franz Liszt and Hans Markart. End of the 19th Century Franz Joseph assigned his nephew Archduke Otto the palace together with his own royal household, royal kitchen and Lipizzaners as to residence. Otto lived so comfortabler than his older brother Franz Ferdinand, who was, after the death of Crown Prince Rudolf in 1889 the heir to the throne, after all. But him was only assigned the Palais Modena in Vienna Herrengasse. Why?
Franz Ferdinand suffered from tuberculosis, so it was a long time uncertain whether he would actually be able to succeed to the throne. Franz Joseph, his potential successor had a distant relationship, only too happy to involve his favorite nephew Otto increasingly in the business of government in order to relieve the sick brother. It was obvious that Francis Joseph had the charming Otto preferred as successor. But Franz Ferdinand recovered from his illness. The old order of succession was thus already restored, when in 1899 the Palais Augarten has been extensively renovated and expanded for Otto. There he devoted himself to his favorite hobbies, to painting and photography, before he died at the age of 41. His son, Archduke Carl Franz Joseph was as Charles I the last Emperor of Austria.
Where once Archduke Otto had lived settled in 1923 the famous Augarten porcelain manufactory. In addition, live, learn and play music since 1948, the Vienna Boys Choir here. A place of amusement, as it Joseph II had wished for himself and to which it also made Otto with his cheerful way of life, the Augarten is today.

Last time I saw my doctor we had a lengthy discussion about food, diets, training etc.
He sorta avoided dietary questions since so I had to twist his arm a little bit.
After all, he is a doctor, so who would be better at handling potential side-effects of a bit of arm-twisting...?
Anyway, in the end he looked at me and said: "You can eat what the hell you want."
So, I am just following his orders...
My Jan 1 pic, before I got into the 1aDay groove. I picked this out of the hundred snaps taken on new years eve because of my fantastic art direction. And because it cracks me up.
The scene is a secretary taking orders from her boss who is about to get 'nasty' with her. Well-orchestrated by all parties.
Eager to press the advantage, Major Bludd issues revised field orders to his Blueshirt leadr Commander Krieg.

Zooooooouum to see my order :D
Unlike most others where I know where dad acquired it this one from: Robert's Auction in Fleischmanns, NY (if I remember correctly).
After searching both volumes of "Lanterns That Lit Our World" by Anthony Hobson; I have not been able to identify the manufacturer or model of this piece. Of course I've looked for embossing or markings, but it is not marked anywhere that I or other collectors have found.
So, with that, it's generic until identification.
The next dilemma is, and assuming it is railroad; what was it used for? I've come to three possible conclusions and my reasons for or against :
Telegraph orders station lamp
=======================
a) Fresnel vs convex: The clear lenses are not fresnel, but simple convex magnifying. This denotes a general shorter range illumination path. A telegraph order showing clear would be displayed if the train did not need to stop for orders, and if the train crew missed the display, no big deal.
The reds are convex fresnel for maximum light projection distance, so a train crew can stop for orders in ample time.
b) clear color: green vs white
Green lenses might confuse an engineer to a "clear" signal on a block of track or a favorably aligned switch/turnout when in fact it was not. Either could have catastrophic results if track ahead was occupied or switch was aligned for a siding.
c) the oval tapered post mount: no bolt holes like for securing it to switch mast. All switch marker lamps I have seen have rectangular sockets with a hold for crossbolt to secure it to mast.
The use of a tapered oval post permits directional setting and ease of removal.
d): the font is of low capacity. A few hours burn time at most. The lantern would have required frequent attention like at the change of a shift, and only at night if the station was occupied at night. Unlike a switch lantern that had larger capacity tanks for the font for longer unattended duration.
e) rigid non movable loop handle. It doesn't fold down like switch markers do. Which to me, signifies a stationmaster had a pole with hook was used to place and remove the lantern on top of the daytime telegraph paddles outside the station office. By reviewing the diagram in the following link, it shows the socket and mechanism for the post type (as opposed to socket) mount:

Other possibilities:
==============
Movable Bridge Marker.
Unlikely, as the font is not large capacity and would have limited burn time
Switch Stand Lantern
Possible but unlikely. The non secured design (no securing cross bolt through the mast) allows easy unauthorized removal.
Vehicular Traffic Signal
Possibly not North American
Whatever this lantern was used for, it is in all likelihood pre-1900's. It just has the real old look to it that post 1900 railroad item no longer had.
After dad bought it, it was hung in my work shed from a heavy hook in a rafter to protect it from handling and breakage. We thought it was safe and it hung there untouched for decades.
When I took it down a few weeks ago for a possible sale, the housing was full of bird seed, blue carpet tufts and mouse terds. It did not smell, so it had not been used as a home in a long time, and the blue carpet tells me the mouse raided our old '74 Chevrolet van which had been used as a gasoline shed. It's been gone a good 15 years at least.
Anyhow, I cleaned it out the lantern and hung it back up. Last night, I took it down again with the intent of hanging it outside my office, so I brought it into the shower with me, lathered it up with cleaner - degreaser and washed it with the shower hose. I then let it dry in front of a fan overnight.
Within the last hour, I just drilled the ceiling, snapped a togglebolt to the threaded J bolt and put her up and took the pics.
If you have any clue or information, please feel free to contact me.
