try here http://www.google.com/images?q=dietz...w=1366&bih=599
There is a picture of one that looks similar.
I can remember Dietz used to build trucks so i thought it was off one of those, but it looks like it could be off an old locomotive

Good find. Thats the one. Dietz Regal Motor Lamp

Your's looks to be in pretty poor condition , it is obviously missing the handle and oil tray, but it is rated on that site as 4 stars which is considered rare to find.
Nice collectable
