Nice, I love the hot blast. My understanding is that they were produced before the cold blast and therefore in general more valuable to a collector.

Wow, that's a clean survivor! Fun to find utility lanterns marked for local utilities for one's local area. I live in Los Angeles County, California, I have a number of Dietz Hy-Lo hot blasts marked for Los Angeles, Pasadena and LA County. Fun stuff! You mention the hot blast was an inferior design, this isn't exactly accurate, hot blasts are the FIRST tubular design, patented in the late 1860s by R.E. Dietz, it's what started the tubular design. The cold blast lantern is a later design, improved brightness yes, but they burn hotter, and also use fuel faster than a hot blast. Using recycled air, the hot blast does use less fuel also, the added benefit of the hot blast design is, it doesn't smell as strong as the cold blast does, makes it idea for indoor use. The vent holes on the globe plate is actually not for the flame, it's to cool the globe as the lantern burns. Now, reason utilities and contractors used hot blasts in the 1900s-1950s is mainly because they were cheaper to buy, and worked. Since they were also better on fuel, they burned longer. Some examples of the DIetz Hy-Lo was offered with a oversized fount, which would allow it to burn for 8 days. So, most of these companies would fuel and trim the wicks and send them out for a job, and they were lit by the tender, and would burn continuously for several days, till the job was finished, then loaded back onto a truck, returned to the shops and serviced and refueled and back out for another job.

Nice lantern collection. Great find with this lantern. I am curious about your steam radiator.

It would seem the hot blast would also act as a heater as well as light. I been considering purchasing one from Amazon because of it's different appearance.

Just keep in mind, it has a smaller wick, so slightly less output than the other two I have. But yes, the appearance is much more unique ❤

I like your selection, it's the same as what I chose myself though a No.1 Little Wizard is in my the mix as well, I suppose a new No.90 D-Lite would be nice to have then you could compare all three 7/8" burner style lanterns in the Dietz line up.

Any idea what year the air pilot is from and if the paint is original? Also do you know when Dietz first started painting their lanterns?
