All of the D-Lite size Dietz globes that I have researched that are not marked D-Lite have the NOBLOC mark instead of the LOC NOB mark.
Most people believe the NOBLOC version is fairly rare and may even be a mistake.
Another observation I made is the C 1 mark which is most likely Cornings mark or it may be a G for Gleason, either way, I think it is rare since all of the NOBLOC's I've seen or heard about were made by Rodefer with an R mark and they are very scarce.
Another observation is the spelling out of MAR instead of using a 3, this is also a characteristic only know to exist on the NOBLOC globes.
I'm not sure which lantern it goes to exactly, but would guess it goes in the Dietz Wizard before or about the time they changed the lantern name to D-Lite and also came up with the smaller Little Wizard lantern.
Bobby B can tell you which lantern is correct for the globe.
Good find.
PS You've got LCF (Lantern Collectors Fever) like some of the rest of us if you're trying to match up the correct parts to a lantern.
