Love this! That blue glass lantern is a work of art!
Glass fount lanterns were a great idea. Never knew they existed. Great video 👍
In all the years shopping Antique junk shops -Can’t say I remember ever seeing a Glass F lantern. Very nice collection. Thanks for sharing 🇺🇸
Tubular lanterns are great👍 I like all three types of oil lamps -Dead flame/Hot Blast and Cold Blast🇺🇸
This is first time I have seen one of your videos. Well laid out, good lighting, overall a great video. These glass font lantern are so neat, thanks for sharing
Thanks for the feedback. I’m glad you enjoy them. I’m working on more as time permits.
outstanding
Thank you - the ambiance when having one lit outside in the evening ;
with your favorite drink and friend,
is something everyone should experience. I love my Colemans for tasks but my kerosene for relaxing.
Enjoyed this a great deal. I have yet to see one in person. Thank you. That NCL is a gem!
Thanks
Very well made video and beautiful lanterns. My favorite is the one with the blue globe. One question: were these all in working condition when you acquired them or did you have to restore some to get them working?
The Winfield needed an air tube resoldered and the CT Ham I cleaned up quite a bit... you couldn’t tell it had the tinning still on it when I got it. Other than that I just had to add wicks and lamp oil.
Great collection there Wow! Thanks for showing them off!
Absolutely BEAUTIFUL "hot-blast" lanterns ❤❤
What an amazing group of lanterns. You sure hit the lottery on the NCL!!! Thanks
How cool! I'll be on the lookout for a glass fount lantern. Maybe someday I'll stumble across one. Love that blue glass
Very nice thanks for sharing
You are the king of lanterns! Happy for you as it is so nice to get involved with a hobby that is so interesting.
Great videos! Please make more!!!
To me, 'font' is a type choice for publishing. I have no glass fount lanterns, think it's a shame they aren't made anymore. My favorite Dietz, strangely enough, is my hot blast Monarch. I love the yellower flame, will often have mine giving off soft light in my den. Great video!
i think the fount font comes from a french word i believe to remember
and it had to do with the ink containers for fountain pens
as the container was the fountain and that is why it was named
fount in these lanterns . its been years since and i cant for the life of me remember where i read it
Wow This is Great I have a bunch of Old Lanterns in the Barn and Some Color RR Lanterns Nice Thanks for the Videos !
A family member has a Ham’s No 0 Glass Fount Lantern in very good condition, the last date on the bottom is Oct 31,1893 and she would like to find out the value. Thanks Roger
Roger… can you send a picture to nathan@reallanterns.com?
Great info awesome job
Hey! Very fun vid! Nice to see the other glass fount lanterns exhibited! Very rare NCL Crank Tubular glass fount! That is so fun to see it burn with the other lovely Crystals! The Winfield is so cool, too! The tin on your C.T. Ham is incredible!
Thank Rob!
Really injoying your channel!
Just a great video and so informative. I'm so jealous of your collection : )
Nice video Nathan! Thanks for sharing.
Thank you Sir
Very beautiful lanterns!! what would be the purpose of having the blue globe? thanks!
I have always called them FOUNT. The word FONT is used as a description of different varieties of print styles.
i'm sharing this !
thank you for the informative vid... I would like to know the Quality of a New Dietz... (made in china) ... particularly the Solid Brass #76 ... is it worth what they charge ???
Daniel, thanks for watching. The Dietz lanterns made in China I would rate maybe a 6-7 out of 10. They are lighter weight, much due to the thinner globes. You should get good use from them though. There aren't a lot of current lantern manufacturers... Dietz, WT Kirkman, and Feuerhand would be the ones I would go with if I was going to use it. Lamplight Farms & V&O seem just a step above the real cheapy ones (Stansport, Florasense, others) which are only good for decoration. The brass means they won't rust which is probably why the premium. There are a whole lot of better quality, good burning antique ones out there one eBay, etc. if you are looking for one to burn.
As you asked what the Fo(u)nt is called in our native languages. Here is the German Word for it:
Brennstoffbehälter
I love how literal German is.. Brennstoffbehälter... "Fuel Holder". Makes sense to me :)
@@reallanterns
Even the "fuel" part (Brennstoff) can be broken down to "Brenn" and "Stoff" so literaly burning stuff 😄
Nice video. I just recently discovered lanterns. I have a question. Are there no glass fount lanterns that are cold blast design? If not, what’s the reason? Thanks.
Bubba... that’s a great question. I never thought about it, but no there aren’t any cold blast (short globe) lanterns that I’ve ever heard of with a glass fount. Timing wise the cold blast lanterns like the Dietz D-lite really became popular around 1915-1920 at the end of the glass fount “era”. Perhaps the popularity or lower cost of the cold blast lanterns led to the switch from the glass founts.
Loved It>>>"FOUNT" >>> Font Is A Typing Style/Size.
Please compare the air pilot to the blizzard
What letters were made in Syracuse New York?
Are these all hot blast lanterns?
Yea they are.
Or u could say, Tank.
