I bought a house from a lady and was hauling off a bag of trash for her. Heard some metal rattling and thought recycle, but found it was a Dietz Monark lantern made between 1915-1936
It is in my booth at Southern Pickers for $49.95 as of today. Also found an old STOP sign at that house behind the shrubs cleaned it and it is in my booth at Southern Pickers for $49.95 as of today too
