Dietz Monarch Antique Kerosene Lantern. 1943 Antique Lantern

Dietz MONARCH antique kerosene lantern. Ready to use or display. The lantern has a stamp date of 1943.

All of the parts are original and correct. The lantern is 100% clean inside and out. No soot, dirt or rust.

The fuel cap has a good gasket. The original embossed globe is in excellent condition. A top notch example of a war era Monarch. The 1943 units are characterized by the lack of brass lift guides and brass fuel filler nipple. Due to war rationing of brass for bullets and other war goods, these were made of tin. There are two photos of the lantern burning. After photographing these the tank was emptied and dried. A new wick is installed.
