Here is a circa 1914 Dietz Eureka coach/buggy (driving) lantern in working condition. It would have mounted to the left side of a car. Just add oil/kerosene, and you have a light (that would not be acceptable by today's standards).
A beauty ! Would luv to have had one of these in my collecting days . I'll trade you my 3 legged water buffalo for it ! I'll pay for shipping of lamp & you pay shipping of buffalo. LOL !
I have the same thing. It is an awesome piece. I also have the Dietz Champion truck lantern.
Well, Blunder, they sell for only $40 if priced appropriately. Buffalo meat here sells for more than that.
EvanCloutier, did you post it yet?
After you pay shipping from Laos ?
Who knows. They're not that heavy or large.
I just put both on today.
Nice find, they sure built things to last in those days, I bet if kept out of the weather it will look the same in another 110 years
Another thought it, not much has changed: It's jut the better stuff that lasted, and most everything else was forgotten. :P
Thanks, Political Pinbacks. It resides safely in my room.
