Of the 3H,1V's dated after 1946, this is what I have;
S-1-47 20-1A Little Wizard Gray PROPERTY OF C.E.I.CO.
S-4-52 _____ Little Wizard Silver M.C.GAS CO.
S-1-53 32-2A Little Giant Blue NO UTILITY MARK
S-11-53 32-2A Little Giant Blue COLORADO SPRINGS STREET DEPT.
S-3-54 32-2A Little Giant Yellow MPLS. GAS CO.
I noticed as I sorted these by date that the LW stopped in 52 and the Little Giant started in 53. This finding may be incomplete since it's based on only 5 lanterns.
The yellow one looks to be factory painted as there is no other color under the yellow.
The Silver one is not factory paint.
I have many more of this style lantern that I did not track the date on before last year. I only collect utility marked lanterns of this style, so I can't help on anything not utility marked.
I have Streamline versions dated between 1937 & 1952, but I have only tracked the dates of 13 lanterns.
