    Here is a circa 1914 Dietz Eureka coach/buggy (driving) lantern in working condition. It would have mounted to the left side of a car. Just add oil/kerosene, and you have a light (that would not be acceptable by today's standards).

      A beauty ! Would luv to have had one of these in my collecting days . I'll trade you my 3 legged water buffalo for it ! I'll pay for shipping of lamp & you pay shipping of buffalo. LOL !

      I have the same thing. It is an awesome piece. I also have the Dietz Champion truck lantern.

      Well, Blunder, they sell for only $40 if priced appropriately. Buffalo meat here sells for more than that.

      EvanCloutier, did you post it yet?

      Who knows. They're not that heavy or large.

      Nice find, they sure built things to last in those days, I bet if kept out of the weather it will look the same in another 110 years

      Another thought it, not much has changed: It's jut the better stuff that lasted, and most everything else was forgotten. :P

      Thanks, Political Pinbacks. It resides safely in my room.
