In this lot is a pair of Kerosene lamps. One lamp is a lamp from a ford Model T, circa 1917. There is a large clear lens and a small red lens. Most of them are mounted by a stud on the side or rear of the lamp, depending on which way the large lens needed to face. Even after electric lights became common, people either opted for the more reliable oil tail lamp or acquired one to carry as a spare. They were available at Ford parts counters long after the Model T ceased production. The lantern is marked on the bottom "Ford TJCLCo Cinti O". The lantern measures 9" X 5 1/2". The second lantern is a red Dietz No. 40 Traffic Guard that was made specifically for City Of Milwaukee. The lantern is also marked with yellow paint “SEW”. The lantern has a red globe. The base of the lantern, where the kerosene goes, measures 7 1/2" across and the lantern is 8" tall with the handle folded down (with the handle up it measures 14"). The Dietz Company started in Syracuse, NY in 1840. Both of these lanterns are in good condition for their age.
