I have two LVRR lanterns, both round with clear glass globes and circular wire "caging" around, with round wire bases.
1. Larger one (approx. 10" high not including handle), has LVRR etched into glass, top metal of lantern reads "Dietz New york U.S.A., Vulcan 39" Base is 7-1/2" diameter.
2. Smaller (approx. 8" high not including handle) "Adlake Kero" etched into glass. On metal top, "The Adams & Westlake Co., L.V.R.R., Adlake No. 200 Kero, New York, Chicago, Phila" (the writing is circular). Etched on the back of the globe is what looks like a horeshoe lying on its side with "N X" in the middle of it. Base = 6".
Any info would be helpful. Unfortunately don't have pictures.
Thanks,
