Description

Up for auction is a Defiance #2 Cold Blast Lantern with a clear globe, a fine example of early 20th-century American lantern craftsmanship. Made by the Defiance Lantern & Stamping Co. of Rochester, NY, these lanterns were renowned for their cold blast and hot blast designs, which were widely used on barns and railroads.

Defiance lanterns were constructed as durable, wind-proof tubular lanterns from tinned steel, often branded as Camlox or Windsor, and built to last. Though the company eventually succumbed to the market crash and was later acquired by William Embury (whose Embury Manufacturing Co. continued to use Defiance dies before being absorbed by R.E. Dietz Co.), these lanterns remain highly collectible today due to their solid construction, historical significance, and timeless design.

This particular model features a clear globe, offering a classic look and the opportunity to showcase its antique patina and charm. Defiance lanterns like this are prized by collectors of antique lighting, railroad memorabilia, and early American industrial artifacts.

Please review all photos carefully for additional details regarding the lantern’s overall condition.

A wonderful addition to any antique lantern collection or historical display, this Defiance #2 combines authentic early American craftsmanship with collectible appeal.

Happy Bidding!
