    Hi Cap’n – we just came across one of these intact on Nantucket – any data on time frame and manufacturer would be welcome. We have the top hood and will send an image. Thanks, Pete

      Contact the CG Museum in Seattle, they are very helpful
      Also send a picture to the US Lighthouse Society, they are both very helpful and full of all kinds of information
