Randy,

Pick up some "Mother's Mag & Chrome Polish" and you'll be able to shave in the reflection of your fount. After I buffed my Col-Max with it I swear by that stuff!

I live wth my mothers polish in the shop, wheels and tons of polished aluminum and chrome on my street rod, the mothers polish is easy to use and the shine lasts.. Ive even got my intake manifold polished.. its almost a day job cleaning and polishing things up..
it works well on fonts also!

Thats me Halloween get up. During the months from about Nov.-march/april i look kind of like David Crosby ( Several times I have had complete strangers come up and ask me, ) Then when I grow my beard some people think I look like Jerry Garcia.

I have used the stuff, or at least its predecessor. In the early 80s I restored a 1963 BMW motorcycle. I took the polished aluminum parts to work with me and polished them while I watched my machines work away. Just staying awake for when they have a "burp". The Bosses would set down with me and help with the polishing.

OK I give, where is it marked on a lantern to show your birthday? Sorry, I'm a rookie.

Depends on how old. Really old ones. forties or earlier or so are on the side of the font. Year first, then Month. Often the year is single digit so my L227 is 7 11. 7 what year? So you need to look at Terry Marsh's site to find out which decade it was built. Latter years it is on the bottom. Then later they started putting month first, then year.
