Most of the Blizzard lanterns after 1915 would have came with DIETZ FITZALL marked globes.
The earliest Blizzard's with the small 9/16" fill cap are pretty rare and would be the only ones to come with the globes marked DIETZ COLD BLAST BLIZZARD. These globes are rare and only made for less than ten years, but very few survived.
The first large fill (13/16") Blizzard's would have came with a cold blast globe marked DIETZ BLIZZARD PATD 3-10-14. These globes are extremely rare and only made for a year or so.
The next Blizzard's came with globes marked DIETZ FITZALL BLIZZARD. These globes are fairly rare and only made for a year or so also.
This pretty much narrows it to Blizzard marked globes go in Blizzard's with smooth side tubes, and side tubes with either 2 or 3 horizontal stiffener beads.
Globes marked Fitzall go in all streamline Blizzards and probably all Blizzards with 3 horizontal beads and 1 vertical bead on the side tubes.
