Score! But you miss out on the fun of the tear-down to clean up of a well used one. I have some of mine cleaned up. I hope to finish it up and put it back together in time to fire it up on my b-day. You got a nice haul with all the extras.

Why of course light it 32 years later than it should have been. The only reason I'd not light it is if I can resist the temptation till my birthday next year.

I'll post a pic of it lit up next year. My wife says that it is only fitting for an unfired birthday lantern. To be christened by fire on my birthday.

Good point Sonoma

I now celebrate my birthday at a burn near or somewhat near my birthday so I am now 62 as I went to a burn 3 weeks ago.
