Dietz No. 40 Red St. Louis Kerosene Lantern w/ Red Globe
This vintage Dietz No. 40 kerosene lantern features its original bright red painted steel body and matching embossed red glass globe. Marked “St. Louis USA” on the top, it showcases the classic Dietz traffic-and-warning lantern design, complete with a hinged top, wire guard, and brass burner assembly. The lantern’s bold red finish and substantial form make it an appealing display piece with strong industrial and railroad-era charm.
A functional kerosene lantern in its time, it now stands as a collectible example of mid-20th-century American utility lighting. Whether added to a railroading collection or showcased as rustic décor, it offers an authentic period look with its original hardware and glass intact. Don’t miss the chance to own this classic Dietz model.
