Huge Railway station light. Kerosene lamp. With red glass insert for Lillimur. (Not for post. Arrangements will have to be made to pick up this one!) With a postcard sent from Lillimur in 1910 which reads: Lillimur, 20/12/10. Dear May, How are you getting on better in health I hope. Thank you for the papers it is so nice to get them as we only have the Adelaide paper though we get a daily Melbourne sometimes. Wishing you all a very happy Christmastime and a prosperous new year with love from Aunt Nelly. I think this is very good of dear old Amy it is so natural (And I agree the photo does look like a very natural pose, unusual for the time!) (Victoria). Lamps. Railway. Huge Railway station light. Kerosene lamp. With red glass insert for Lillimur. (Not for post. Arrangements will have to be made to pick up this one!) (Victoria) About 615 mm tall. Late 19th to 20th Century

Very Good. (N/A). What a spectacular piece! I presume the whole light itself is a standard Victorian Railways piece for use at Stations but the bit that makes it extra special is its original Red glass insert with the town name of Lilllimur. The insert has angled edges so it simply slides down the inner front until it reaches its holding position. Not sure I am one to judge it but seems to be in great working order! There are some rust spots and things. General wear and tear. Obviously this is not a piece to be posted so arrangements will have to be made by the winning bidder for collection. Estimate: $500-1000
