Here are pictures of the 15 lanterns that I have for sale. I want to sell these in one group. This was my personal collection. I started collecting them in the late seventies through eighties. I never intended to sell them. As we get older; we are downsizing now. My loss is your gain.
I am sure these will all go at Bouckville or a similar antique show.
Retail on all 15 lanterns together is at least $1,250. That is what I have in them over the last forty years.
I will take $500 FIRM for all of them.
FACT - These sell better at antique shows, than on the internet.
All lanterns are operational with a little kerosene.
However, one was modified to be used as a table lamp and is missing the wick-flame assembly.
One of the Dietz lanterns is a new lantern that was one of the last made in Hong Kong under the Dietz license.
