They like everything else now a days are collectors items. As the book I posted in an earlier post can a test too. Most aren't big bucks, but like the old liquid fuel blowtorches, they are interesting and a conversation starter when people see them. And I have book on them


And lanterns of all fuel types.



Some are worth big bucks and some just a couple, but it is interesting to find out about  the companies and people that produced them. I got rid of my  RR switch lanterns and conductors ones when the price was better than now!

Still have some lanterns that were used before the battery ones on construction sites.
