Description

This model is likely a "Dietz Tubular Hunting Lamp" it was advertised as being able to "throw a powerful light 200 feet." This rusted kerosene hand lamp still has its handle intact. While it is missing its fuel container now, it may have been used by coal miners or railway operators to light their way through the dark.
