Lantern on TV

There is an episode of Mission: Impossible entitled "The Bank" that has a highway traffic lantern visible. This is a Season 2 episode made in 1967 and you can watch the full episode on You Tube. At the 35.00 minute mark regular character Rollin Hand(Martin Landau)and guest star Pierre Jalbert (who played Caje on Combat)are posing as underground utility workers in West Berlin. They have a manhole open in the street 25 feet from the Berlin Wall and are lowering bricks down into the manhole (I won't say why, don't want to ruin the suspense for you). They have a couple of yellow wood barricades set up and one has a blue Dietz Little Giant or No. 100 (I'm not sure which) with a clear glass globe, the one that has the upper 3/4 with the applied red coating and the lower quarter clear so you can see the flame more easily to adjust it. The scene is in daylight so the lantern is not lit, unfortunately. Merry Christmas to all and the best in collecting for 2014.
