Yup I have one of those Dietz number 40 traffic gard lantern in my collection & yes restoring mine! 🙂👍 Update! I just scored an Embury #40 traffic gard lantern & restored it too! Now I have two traffic gard lanterns in my collection!🙂🙂
Nice restoration! I like what you did with the fuel cap. I have the same lantern but the handle is a single rod with a loop at the end. I also wanted to see you fire it up. Restore to working condition. Your video has inspired me to restore my own. I wasn’t sure what fuel was used for these lanterns and the feed screw for the wick doesn’t raise the wick so I took the whole assembly out and have just been using tea light candles. Thanks for the informative video.
BUG CO Brooklyn Union Gas Company Saw these used when I grew up in Queens. The crews placed these on flag stanchions that held one or two flags by day and a lantern at night. I still remember how meticulous the barricades were placed. I have several of these lanterns. Would love to be able to restore one or two like this!!
Thank you so much for commenting! I didn’t have much luck in my researching trying to determine where it came from. Quite a thing to have a couple of these in your possession! Thank you so much for watching and sharing!
Thank you Thomas! It’s a really cool little lantern. Not the usual design. Some people would scoff at removing the original paint and patina but I think it turned out well and is ready to go if I ever need it!
Nice work and nice video. I’ll be restoring the same lantern. I’ve done other kinds and pretty do things the way you do but I always learn something from the videos. Thanks for listing the products you used also.
Hi Richard! Thank you for checking out my video! The hardest part on this lantern is getting the corrosion removed from the uprights around the lens. They are squared off and civitated behind so it’s a challenge. I wanted so badly to use the media blaster to get into all the tight spots, but kept reading over and over again that media blasting could destroy the lantern. Good luck on your restoration and be sure to post a link here to some photos when you’re done!
Hello, and thanks for stopping by! For this one I used Krylon paint. The color is called Banner Red. I’ve used krylon and rust oleum both in the past, and have had similar results with either.
Hi Tamara! Thank you so much for watching! I’m sure it does affect the value. As the saying goes “it’s only original once”. This model of lantern isn’t especially collectible and was in pretty bad shape. In this case, it’s probably a wash as far as value is concerned. Some lanterns are extremely valuable and collectible and a restoration would potentially destroy the value.
Do you think soaking it in white vinegar would be a bad idea? I found one of these in the basement of the house and would like to restore it. Sidenote....the previous owner also left a Dietz #2 upstairs. Nice video.
Thank you for watching! White vinegar and salt work pretty well as a rust remover. If you have rust that’ll do it. Just keep an eye on it. I usually use citric acid powder mixed with water and seems to work well too. Good luck on your lantern restorations! A lot of collectors prefer them to be left alone and not restored. If either is in pretty nice shape, consider leaving their character.

Thank you for stopping by! I should have lit it. I still have it, but it’s packed away. I should get it back out and make a quick follow up video!

Excellent restoration. What size wick do these use?
Nice restoration of a neat little lantern. Now you can show some real class when the lights go out.

nice video quality and video editing..good work bro.👍👍
amazing stuff
Thank you for watching!
Can you share the color brand of paint used? Looks great 👍

I want to see it lit!
I had intended to light it but never did. Maybe a follow up video? Thank you for watching!
Soak in evaporust, will remove rust in areas you can’t get to.
Is the primer and paint high temp.??
Yes, definitely want to use high temperature paint, especially on the top cap!
Does the restoration affect any value for it?
