Hi Bill,

Very interesting and varied trip report, and great pictures too!

I too was a little puzzled by the keys, locks and lanterns stuff to start, I just assumed it was a strange masonic order, or with the locks and keys aspect maybe a touch of "Fifty Shades of Grey"... All became clear when it transpired to be a meeting of enthusiasts and collectors of old rail lamps, etc. (I assume that those red glass lanterns came from New Orleans, maybe the House of the Rising Sun ? ) .

Best wishes,

Ed.

[QUOTE="caravanman, post: 668160, member: 256"] Hi Bill, Very interesting and varied trip report, and great pictures too! I too was a little puzzled by the keys, locks and lanterns stuff to start, I just assumed it was a strange masonic order, or with the locks and keys aspect maybe a touch of "Fifty Shades of Grey"... All became clear when it transpired to be a meeting of enthusiasts and collectors of old rail lamps, etc. :) (I assume that those red glass lanterns came from New Orleans, maybe the House of the Rising Sun ? ) ;) .
