Remove the adapter, place 2 D cells in, one with + side down, the other with + side up, allowing the batteries to touch the tab on the bottom of the adapter. Slide adapter back in and replace the lid. Lantern should work.

It still has the two bulbs in it but I can't find batteries for it. I bought it several years ago for a buck at an estate sale.

Rubber handle has been replaced by electrical tape and takes D batteries.

It's inside demension is 3 1/2 inches. C or D cells will not fit. When combined they are too long alone not long enough. We also have one that we can not read anything on and it will only fit a C cell battery in it but not 2 again. This one appears to be older but we have no way of knowing. Any ideas? We'd appreciate information.

It was designed so you could modify it to take E cells instead of D cells by breaking off two tabs in the lid. The standard 6 volt railroad lantern battery has four E cells inside and requires a bit of work to remove. Then one of them had to be in a cardboard sleeve to insulate it form the body. It was a great fair weather lantern but did not fair well in rain and snow.
