The case had about 2 inches of water in it and the frame on the lantern is really rusted. Should clean up however. By the amount of soot on the globe, I'm thinking that someone screwed up on it and decided that it didn't work any more. Doesn't smell like Coleman fuel in it, more like kero. Vent is straight, but has a number of chips on it. If I get it done in time...a raffle gift for the Dam Gathering. Doug

Doug:
That's what the people back in the 60's used to say about the one's they were buying then. Someone 40 years from now is going to find yours and wonder why someone would drill holes in it. LOL

PS I will be watching this thread and checking your progress on the lantern. I'm sure you'll do your magic on it.
