Two more lanterns come back to life.

It got a bit slow at work today so I set out to get some lanterns fired up.
I started out with the brass 242 that I found recently at a thrift store for $6.00. It was really rough and missing several pieces, so I cleaned up what was useable. Next I did the Boss's nickel plated 242C. It barely survived the big quake we had last January, fell off a shelf and broke the original globe. After I had it all polished up & burning, he decided I needed it worse than he did, Thanks Mark... :thumbsup: Last but not least was my b-day lantern a 5/58 200A, man that thing burns bright.

Not at the moment. :roll:

Here's another lantern that has come back to life [1969 228F]. This one still belongs to the boss.

Here's three more that are on their way to being reborn, 1943 220BX, 1944 220C, and a 1947 242C
