I found those sites, thank you. I will try to post a picture but if you go to www.worthpoint.com/neat-old-8-day-lantern-lamp-division, someone has the very exact one as what I have, pretty much in the same shape. It is one of those sites you have to join and pay to find out what its value is. He has a write up on this lantern that is quite interesting.
It also says property of illinois division of highways, the globe on mine is clear, the original and goes in upside down.
