This vintage 1950s Dietz Comet Boy Scout Lantern is a red, fire engine red, lantern made in the USA. This collectible piece falls within the era of 1950 - 1970 and is crafted from pressed steel. With a base diameter of 4.25 inches and a height of 8.75 inches (excluding handle), this lantern exudes nostalgia and Americana charm. Perfect for collectors of vintage lanterns, Boy Scout memorabilia, or railroadiana, the Dietz Comet lantern is a tangible piece of history that captures the essence of a bygone era. I don't know if this lantern works but it appears to be in solid physical condition and with a good cleaning by someone who knows what they are doing, which is not me, will end up with a great old vintage lantern. Thanks for looking and have a blessed day.
