Lantern globes are standard sizes and interchanging between different brand lanterns is commonplace. Bullseye globes were mostly used in wagon lanterns but could be useful in any lantern they fit. Your Rayo No.2CB/BE is way rare compared to the Rayo Hot Blast (No.0) Bullseye. Nice Find! The Blizzard can be dated based on it's physical characteristics, so a photo would be most useful. Post here or send to me in an email. The large fill tells us that it was made after 1911. After 1915 it has vertical reinforcing on the tubes. Until 1920 it had a plain (flag) lift plate on the inside of the right tube, and a full-corner lift plate with a strut down to the fount after 1919. The Blizzard and other Dietz lines all acquire a pivoted bail in 1935. The streamline versions start in 1938, etc. BB
