For your consideration is this Dietz Vesta "cold-blast" lantern. Dietz made the vastly popular lo-top Vesta lantern from just after WWI, until about 1960. The Vesta lanterns used what Dietz called "cold-blast" ventilation design. The design allowed for air to be circulated through flanking tubes to produce a stronger flame, and giving it its distinctive profile. This lantern dates to about the last four years of production, as Dietz stopped stamping the lids with dates in 1956. The lantern is painted gold and has an unmarked blue globe. Blue signals were used on one or both ends of an engine, car, or train to indicate workmen were under or about it. The blue signal meant it must not be coupled or moved. The lantern is marked "New York, U S A/ Dietz Vesta on the chimney. The lid is marked RDG. Co. Trans. Dept.
