The Ham No.0 Side Spring Safety lantern was made around 1890 to 1910, i think. I'll have a look at the Ham cats. tonite to see if this can be narrowed down. The Simmons Hardware cold blast also looks like Ham. I can't see the pull ring, which would identify the manufacturer after 1910 or so. Probably a lamp made 1898-1910. The OVB globes were made for a different jobber: Hibbard-Spencer-Bartlett of Chicago. An OVB cold blast globe has a $50-$60 market price by itself. Two nice old lanterns, in any case! BB
