This is an Embury No. 40 Traffic Gard lantern. It's in very good shape; you can see in the pictures that it has some rust spots and/or missing paint. It is slightly tipped to one side. It has a Dietz No. 40 red globe. The lantern was made for "Gen. Co. Rd. Dept.", and is stamped as such on the top of the reservoir in place of the Embury name.

Most of the things you see in our store have never been owned by a collector or been in an antique shop. They have come straight from the families and farms that have used them and stored them away in their attics, barns and woodsheds for decades. They are real things that were used by real people, so they are not going to be perfect. You should expect them to have character. When we describe the condition, we mean compared to anything else that old. I will do my best to point out, either in the description and/or pictures, anything I notice that to me is significant. But, I can't mention every little thing. So, please look at the pictures and read the description carefully. If you need different views in the pictures or you have any questions, call or E-mail me before you buy. We will be happy to reply. We want you to be satisfied with your purchase. Our items are offered as a piece of history for collectors to be used for decoration or display. We don't represent that they will do the job they were designed for years ago, so once you buy them, how you use them is up to you. To contact us send your e-mail to Craig@stoneyacresfarm.com (include the item number) or phone (810) 266-4241 or (810) 938-3744.
