Mfg. By Hiram L. Piper Co Ltd. The Hiram L. Piper Co. (Piper) Kero is easily the most recognizable railway lantern in Canada. Starting in the 1920s, sometime likely around 1920 itself, Piper teamed up with The Adams & Westlake Co. (Adlake) to bring the Adlake Kero to Canada. Due to tariffs, the Kero could not be imported to Canada and stay competitive with E.T. Wright, to get around that Adlake sent their lanterns in parts to Piper, and they were assembled at the Piper factory in Montreal. The railway name and the Piper name were added by Adlake at their factory. This set up proved lucrative for both companies. This relationship continued in the same fashion until the 1960s. As Adlake changed their tooling so did the appearance of the Piper model, due to the fact Adlake made the lanterns for Piper.
The first Piper lanterns were the No.200, followed by the No.250. My general rule of thumb is the No.200 dates to 1920-1925, and the No.250 dates from 1925-1930. The 250 was followed up by the No.300 and No.400. In the 1930s, Adlake started dating their lanterns. Dates are located on the bottom and set up by quarter and year. For instance, if the date code was 4-50, it would have been made 4th quarter of 1950. 2-35 would be second quarter of 1935, and so on. The earliest date I’ve seen is 1931.
