Your Blizzard probably is one that went to the winglock cone in late 1919, like some of the Wizards I have.
My earliest Wizard is M-7-14. Your Blizz is Syracuse if it has no production date. The S numbers apparently did not start until 1920-1921. The MAR-2-16 is not a patent date; the 2 has to be a 7, 14, 21, or 28. It basically shows us production after 1916, but the patent itself is likely irrelevant to the lantern. Dietz changed the patent sets at random on lanterns to mark production runs and the patents themselves usually have nothing to do with the lantern. BB
