Vintage Dietz #2 Blizzard Red Globe Railroad Oil Lantern, Circa 1914 (Marked)

A vintage Dietz #2 Blizzard oil lantern featuring a red glass globe marked "LOC No Patd 3-10-14" and "Fitzall, New York." This rugged lantern was widely used in railroad applications, where its bright red globe served as a vital tool for signaling stop or caution to oncoming trains and crews. Built with durability in mind, it features a windproof design and a sturdy metal frame capable of withstanding the demanding conditions of rail yards and transportation settings. 

Ideal for vintage lighting enthusiasts, railroad historians, or collectors of industrial memorabilia, this lantern is a striking piece of Americana.

Condition:
Good condition with wear consistent with age and use. The filler cap is absent, and the lantern exhibits a natural patina from decades of service. The red glass globe is intact, free from chips or cracks.

Dimensions:

  • Height: 15 inches (38 cm)
  • Width: 8 inches (20 cm)
  • Depth: 6 inches (15 cm)
