Dietz Crescent Lantern, circa. 1912. The Dietz Crescent was an attempt to make a cheaper more obtainable lantern than the Dietz #2 Blizzard. The Crescent was made of tin and was made with non-reinforced air tubes. The globe is a LOC-NOB Fitzall. LOC-NOB refers to the pair of ears on a Dietz lantern globe used to keep the globe from falling out when tilting the globe plate for lighting or trimming the wick.
