This railroad lantern is from Dietz, a company that has been making lanterns since its founding in 1840. Dietz moved its production base to Hong Kong in 1956 and then to China in 1982, but this product was made in the United States in 1951.
Railroad lanterns were literally used as signal lights on railways, and unlike the famous hurricane lanterns, the tank part at the bottom is also covered with a guard.
The previous owner appears to have polished this item thoroughly, and there is no significant damage. It has a glossy gunmetal finish, and we look forward to seeing how it ages over time. There is also no significant damage to the glass, and we have confirmed that the tank is leak-free.
In addition to kerosene, paraffin oil can also be used as fuel (paraffin oil produces less soot). While it is less bright than a pressure-type lantern, it is sufficient for tabletop use. It also requires no pumping or preheating, and its simple structure makes it easy to maintain.
The lead has been replaced with a 1cm wide cotton one. If the handle spins freely when inserting or removing the lead, please push it in and out repeatedly until the tabs snap into place.
Ignition method
Slide the lever to the left, lift the umbrella, then lift the globe (glass) to ignite the wick.
How to remove the fuel tank <br data-mce-fragment="1">Hold the tank from below and twist it to the right to release the lock. To install, lift the end of the lock with the fastener on the tank side and twist it to the left.
Size <br data-mce-fragment="1">Bottom diameter approx. 16cm
Body height: approx. 24.7cm
Height including handle: approx. 38cm
Delivery
100 size
Note
Filling the oil tank to the brim will cause it to leak, so keep the oil supply to about 8 minutes and be careful not to shake it too much. Also, be careful not to extend the wick too far, as this will cause soot to form.
