Project
Vintage railroad lantern owned by Chauncey Frend as a family heirloom from his grandpa Frend who worked on the railroad until his passing. Labels indicate lantern was lent to a neighbor workman named Mr. W.E. Lloyd who lived on Kennedy Lane in Elkhart Indiana in the 1960s. Chauncey applied the AVL’s “Hope Diamond” capture process to this object as a learning exercise. Observe the vivid texture map to see the results of this labor.
