    I've been on a bit of a Prentiss Wabers streak of late. Recently added this little Junior to the fleet. It had a Coleman bail on it that fit poorly and I just so happened to have a spare L47 bail that a PO had hacked already. So I continued to build some brass extensions that would give me the length needed and also keep the bail from hitting the brim of the vent... If anyone has a known original L44 bail I would like to see how it lives on the vent... Finding photos of the two have proved impossible so far :)

    Other than that it was a simple fettle of wiping it down and trying a mantle on... I haven't even changed the pip yet... This one being dry (out of the fuel) I can be patient.
