Kerosene Buggy Lantern, 1890-1910
01
Artifact Overview
R. E. Dietz Company's "Buckeye" was one of its most popular-selling dash lamps. This lamp could be clip-mounted to the dash of a horse-drawn buggy to help the vehicle be seen by others traveling the dark roads. The lamp could also be hung on a wall or carried by the bail handle -- a very handy lamp to have around.
