Description
Dietz Vesta bellbottom lantern frame with 1898 patent. The bellis a twist off, the very top has faint Dietz Vesta marking. Lid has unique Vesta lettering of BR&P RY. Wire joints were separately applied. Bell is big! You might see 600-1000 Vesta wire bottoms for every bellbottom you may encounter. The lid latch is a little finicky, but pushing it back out after securing it seems to work fine. The globe has a large base flange and no upper flange. This is the earliest Vesta style globe. The globe has BR&P RY etched in block lettering. There is a 1 1/2" crack on the side of the globe coming down from the top. One photo attempts to show this detail. There are many Buffalo, Rochester & Pittsburgh Railway lanterns in this auction. A great selection with variety of styles and markings.
