Evolution of a Dietz icon: Dietz No.2 Blizzard Part 1. 

Great idea! It’s hard to find condensed information about antique lanterns on RU-vid or anywhere really. Thanks for sharing your knowledge.

Thank you for your information. I wanted a Blizzard to complete the varieties I like and found a nice one yesterday.

Being a lantern noob, I've really learned a lot from your channel. Pretty sure there is a lantern in my future!

Very informative Rob👍

Very interesting. Thank you. I have a no.2 Blizzard.

Love it ! I got a Blizzard No. 2, and a streamlined Monarch from an Amish yard sale in Lancaster PA. The guy told me they were his fathers, and had been used on that farm since the 1940s. They are going towards a mix of battery powered stuff, like Streamlight, and Coleman or Petromax mantle pressure lanterns for mobile lighting.

This video is very informative. It’s a great summary and guide about the evolution of the early blizzards. Are there dates stamped anywhere on these early ones? I can’t find dates on mine.

Great video thank you for sharing this information

Didn't know they had so much variation within a single model. I do collect and have one blizzard but have keep under 20 or so pieces for space and wife sanity so it has to be a "greatest hits" album only. Looking for a nail city next.

Great info Rob sometimes I have overlooked the differences in these and probably missed out on some good deals thinking that I already have that lantern but maybe we should get the wives involved in this education because my wife always tells me that all of mine are the same Lol!

Great tutorial- That Brass font is just beautiful!!!!

Thank you for this informative video. Would love to see more like this. Thanks again.

Great video here, thank you very much for making this. I recently bought a Champion #2 that is just an awesome lantern (I posted it on the antique tubular lantern site) and it has its roots in the Diets Blizzard #80. This is my favorite cold blast lantern design and I plan on collecting these starting with the Champion and working my way backwards and so this vid is absolutely perfect for my project. I have to look through your videos as I love the Dietz # 10 monarch and plan on collecting these in a similar manner. Thank you very much again, Rob, as usual you crank out some really nice videos and I appreciate the effort you do in making them!

Excellent video. My guess in part two will be Dietz No.80.

A good lantern is like a personal wood stove. It's hard to beat the Dietz #80 for light and warmth.😊

Great video .. now I know

Thank you Rob for the history.

What Dietz lantern puts out the most btu heat? I am looking for one to help to heat my camper

Cool vid but one critique. Would loved to have seen them lit to see if there's any difference in the burns.

I have several in my shed
