one more thing I found but did not buy.. it was a nickle tank dual mantle lantern but instead of having a frame and globe etc there was a pail like thing with a handle on top, looked like it was to be used as a heater of some sorts. looked factory made, didnt look home made.the pail was on its side to direct light /heat in a controlable direction.
