October brings a chill to the air, which means it's time to fire up my Perfection Firelight heaters. These are essential very large center draft lamps.

Square lamps were large lamps used for illumination in large areas like train platforms, auditoriums, and warehouses. They were a burner and fuel tank enclosed in glass panels, with air tubes to provide draft to the flame. This is a Dietz No. 1 Tubular Square Lamp from the 1890s. USA
Thought you'd like a bit of history.

This is a 1920's Dietz Monarch Milk Wagon lantern, marked as "Property of HP Hood & Sons" on the tank. It's the same company that is still in the dairy business today. I have included a photo of a wagon it would have been used on. USA

Some fancy lanterns arrived for my collection today. A few copper fuel tank lanterns from a variety of makers, a HP Hood & Sons milk wagon lantern, and a rare Rayo No. 10 marked globe. More details in description. USA
A Berger manufacturing No. 2 Storm King with copper tank. Approximately 1910 or so. Fancy stampings on the tank.
A early Defiance Lantern and Stamping Co. copper tank lantern. Approximately 1905.
A Buhl manufacturing No. 575 Hurricane copper tank. Approximately 1915. This one is a little rough, but still a relatively hard to find lantern.
A Rayo No 10 short globe. This is a funny non standard shaped globe that I had been looking for. I already had an all brass version of the lantern to put it in. Approximately 1915
Finally a Dietz Monarch Milk Wagon lantern with a tag reading "Property of H.P. Hood & Sons" the same company that still makes milk today.

▲ 190 r/flashlight
A few "flashlights" from the 1890s. These are dash lanterns from the 1890s. They would have clipped on to the dashboard of a horse drawn carriage. You've asked me for beam shots before, and tonight I am happy to provide! Many beamshots including. More info in description.
The left lantern is a C.T. Ham No. 0 Side Spring Safety lantern. It dates from the early 1890s. It has a corrugated tin reflector that would have been mirror bright tin when new. It's now a brownish rusty patina that has been stabilized for my collection.
The lantern on the right is a early 1890s Dietz No. 0 Reflector Tubular. It has a "hood" style reflector with a concave silvered glass reflector. This lantern is very unique, as it has an all brass fuel tank bottom. It's the only example I've ever seen like this.
Both lanterns use the same size wick and are of equal brightness. I took the Dietz on the right for beamshots, as it's reflector has stood the rest of time better than the other. The silvered glass is essentially still a mirror finish.

I was told to post this here! A few pictures of my home lantern "museum" featuring lanterns from a wide variety of makers. Most are at least 100 years old, with some dating well into the 1800s.
