Vintage Dietz Vesta Reading Company Trans Dept., etched globe RDG. CO.

Description

Hello!  I am just getting started selling my father's railroad lanterns that he collected over many years. All the lanterns that I list are being sold as-is, as found on my father's shelves. I am not a railroad collector but I will try to describe them as best I can.
Vintage Dietz Vesta railroad lantern stamped RDG. CO. TRANS. DEPT. Straight frame, not broken or bent. No extra holes drilled.  Nice, clean frame. Some light surface rust on the lid.  Dome stamped Dietz Vesta, New York, USA.  There are several old patent dates on the lid but I can't make them out. Fount and burner in very good condition.  Moving the wick up and down is hard.
Globe: Clear. Etched RDG. CO. and embossed Dietz, Vesta, New York, U.S.A.  Small nicks/chips and one smooth, larger chip at the top rim.  Cannot be seen when the globe is seated in the frame.
Please view all the photographs as they are part of the item description. Please contact me if you have any questions.
Shipping: .00; USPS Priority Mail.
Shipped carefully and promptly.
Thank you!
