the fall of 1881 in Rochester NY, getting it's power
from the Genesee Falls. In Nov. of 1888, a fire totally destroyed it's factory killing 35 of it's employees. In that same year, SG&L moved their company to Syracuse NY where they continued to manufacture lanterns until 1897. In the summer of 1897, it was bought by R.E.Dietz. The wire globe lift on the earlier No. 0 was different than the globe lift on the later ones. With only an eight year history, I'd have to say that any SG&L lantern would be considered rare.
