Antique Dietz Little Wizard Red Globe Railroad Train Work Oil Lantern Aged

The Antique Dietz Little Wizard rail and train worker oil lantern is a collectible piece from the United States, specifically designed for railroad workers. With its iconic Dietz brand and unique design, this lantern serves as a historical piece of transportation memorabilia. Perfect for collectors interested in railroadiana and trains, this lantern provides a glimpse into the past. It was used by railroad workers for signaling and illumination and is said to run up to 23 hours on 17oz of fuel. This one actually belonged to Grandfather when he was young working on the rail before a train wreck discouraged him from continuing that line of work.

I believe it to be a No 2 D-Lite made in Syracuse NY by Dietz. Needs cleaning and some care as it has a bit of metal decay showing in various places. Fuel tank lid screws on and off still. Fair condition for it's age.
