Thanks for the heads up on your markers. Too bad the Dressel isn't marked GN. I have a few pair of the GN #7 Adlakes, one pair is a three lens variety. I had a GN Dressel years ago, but when I was restoring my real GN caboose, during the time I did not have a job, I traded that marker off to another collector. He trade several handlanterns, which I was able to convert to cash, to help buy me siding for the caboose. Now I wish I had never done that. I also saw a pair of GN markers made by Dressel, but I thought the tags were faked. A number of years later, I came across a nice Adlake bell bottom fork mount switch lamp, with the same odd tag for the GN. The delaer whop had this would have never been able to fake this, just like the tag on those markers. So ends my trials and tribulations looking for a pair of GN Dressel markers. Thanks for your comments, and pictures. You have some neat stuff and nicely displayed.

Jeff,

 

I went back and looked at the lamp and it was not marked. I then realized the lamp in the picture was not from the GN. That particular lamp was unmarked. I finally found my GN marker lamp. It is an Adlake square top lamp and is marked GN Ry on the top/side of the lid.

 

The GN lamp is in the center of the photo hanging on the wall.
