2497f.
U. S.
Lighthouse Service Lantern. c.1920s. As you would expect, the
Lighthouse Service, like other services, required lanterns for use in walking
and for general utility lighting. Lantern is a Dietz No. 2 Blizzard
style in tin with brass oil reservoir. Soldered to the brass oil reservoir
is a brass tag or cartouche. which reads U.S.L.H.S.
No. 2, nicely made with a raised border, and curved to fit the
lantern. Lantern has a wire carrying handle or bail on top, with a clear early
globe. Robert Edwin Dietz first began selling whale oil and camphene lamps and
lanterns in 1840. By 1859, Robert and his brother Michael patented the first
practical flat wick burner especially designed for the then new fuel oil,
kerosene. The #2 Blizzard was billed as "King of the Cold Blasts," and
was one of the first Cold Blast Lanterns produced by the company. Introduced in
1898, there are at least five variations of this perennial favorite. The
Lighthouse Service used three oil lanterns in various styles, marked No. 1, No.
2, and simply U.S.L.H.S. Lantern is entirely complete and intact, with moderate
overall coat of rust from exposure. Oil reservoir should polish up with some
effort. Complete with font (without wick) and all operating parts but will
need some work to function. Still, an exceptional and more affordable example of
this rare Lighthouse Service lantern. (VG-). $945 net.

Navigation Lanterns
 
2221f.
United States
Coast Guard Lantern. Extremely scarce, original United States
Coast Guard navigational lantern. This early and rare lantern was used as a
river or harbor navigational light, and sometimes could be used without the
lens as an area light at stations, on the boat house or inside and outside
of the warehouses at depots. This scarce piece is constructed of heavy
tin for the US Coast Guard. The front top is embossed:
U. S.
C. G.. The lantern is tri-cornered with the three sides of the lantern
housing glass panels. The glass is present and intact, in sliding brackets
allow them to be replaced for cleaning and care. Two of the three
panels are hinged and latch with double hasps. A vertical chamber runs from
the top ventilator down the back to feed heated air up into the lamp burner.
Lantern measures approximately 16 x 16 x 16. Overall height 28
to top of handle. Lantern is complete including ventilating cap and swing
handle on top. Unit was painted black but as was the custom. The original

embossed with the letters U.S.C. G. Base oil reservoir measures 6 Ύ
in diameter by 5 high and has two passages running from the base to the
font to provide air to the base of the flame. The lamps sits in a base
within the lantern, allowing the external combustion air to rise within to
the wicks. The lamp does not have the wick, font and chimney but is
otherwise complete. A wonderful rare example of this style of early
Coast Guard lighting apparatus and extremely rare. Quite good condition.

2221d. Extremely scarce,
original United States Coast Guard navigational
lantern. This extremely early
and rare lantern was used as a river or harbor navigational light, and sometimes
could be used without the lens as an area light at stations, on the boat house

Guard. The front top is embossed: U. S. C. G.. The lantern is tri-cornered
with the three sides of the lantern housing glass panels one clear, one red
and one green indicating that its most recent use was for channel navigation.

500mm
Lightship Beacon and Navigation Light
D-11.
500mm (4th order) Lightship
Beacon and Navigation Light. This
beautiful vintage Beacon Light was manufactured by the American Gas Accumulator
Company (AGA) and is designated as a 500mm Beacon Light. Many different sizes
were manufactured by AGA for Lighthouse Service use. Most common are the 150mm
and 200mm buoy lights that are commonly seen. The Beacon Light has an exterior
center section called the storm pane section. On top of this section is found a
hinged top secured down with three latch bolts and nuts that unscrew to gain
access to the top cover. Two grab handles are secured to the hinged top for
servicing the 4th Order Fresnel lens cut glass prism light inside. The bottom
has a section where it can be bolted down to various structures.
The
Lighthouse Service 500mm Beacon Lights would have been used atop various smaller
lighthouses that were unmanned such as the Lake St. Clair Crib Light as well as
the Muskegon South Break Water Light, as Pierhead lights as a rear range light
or on the opposite side of the channel of a major lighthouse like Grand
Havens and Charlevoixs opposite piers high atop a skeletal type structure,
on an independent minor aid to navigation structure where a lightkeeper wasnt
necessary and mainly on Lightships as the main lights, typically with two masts
of Beacon Lights. The St. Clair, Ambrose and
Nantucket
lightships all used these types of 500mm lights.
The
lights were designed to give up to one year of unattended service in all types
of weather conditions in remote locations. The light is made of copper, gunmetal
and brass. The glass Fresnel lens inside is made up of numerous cut and polished
prisms and then assembled into a frame and inserted into the lantern housing.
Shown are several application photos where a light like this was used among many
others.
The
Fresnel lens can be removed if required and is in excellent shape for its age.
It is the size of a typical 4th Order lighthouse lens and is 18-1/2 inches
inside diameter and 24 inches tall approximately. The Fresnel lens alone can
actually be removed from the light to be used as an independent drum type
lighthouse lens in a museum and or private home if needed. The light overall is
55 inches tall and 31 inches wide approximately. The light is currently crated
for shipment and the crate dimensions are 37 inches wide by 37 inches long and
60 inches tall. The weight is approximately 850 pounds. There is no extra charge
for crating. Shipping is based on actual cost door to door. Reduced to:
$19,995
plus shipping. (sorry, no discounts apply)
