I don’t know much about this lantern, but its kind of unusual – the fount that is – As I began stripping the tank – a wonderful glow appeared underneath. Now this is defiantly NOT nickel or chrome – but some other kind of alloy. The fuel cap is the standard brass that was painted. Most steel founts aren’t this shiny after stripping – but this one was. So I decided not to paint it – but give it a good buffing – this is how it all turned out
