Vintage Railroad Lantern Wow! This auction is for one of several great vintage railroad lanterns I have listed this week. This particular one is a Dietz Vesta lantern that has a silver finish and clear globe with embossed printing that reads NYNH&H (New York, New Haven & Hartford Railroad). The bottom of the lantern is unmarked. The top of the lantern is embossed with the patent date 1920 - it does not have a railroad designation on the actual lamp. It measures about 10" tall without the bail handle at the top. The lantern is in found-in condition and needs a good cleaning. It was used and has some wear, but is a nice piece regardless. More about this piece: This auction and all the other railroad related items I have listed this week are from a single estate of a lifelong railroad collector and employee. All of these items were acquired from RR agencies or first hand by him, and are fresh to the market. It is an amazing collection with 1000s of pieces that I will be listing in the next several weeks. Email me if you are looking for specific pieces and I will get them up right away. Bidder pays $8.50 for shipping and handling via USPS Mail within the United States.
