    I’ve had this nulite for awhile on my to do list, it needed a hood spring clean,
    Note: the burner caps appear to be some sort of ceramic, one when inspected had a crack and just crumbled , some helpful advice from Nils I foun a couple of Coleman burner caps from a table lamp setup, they did the job. It cleaned up well . I could never get it to a polished look but happy with it as the patina will come back. The mica globe is one I made for another lantern, I’ll make one to look the part.
    It’s an old lantern 1920’s? A3519F52-648A-4794-9AA9-CC8033FB4279.jpeg 091B56DC-B333-43BD-9506-34102EF8D7C5.jpeg 09CBE250-A1EE-4CC7-9FAF-28B62AFB796F.jpeg 3F4C5681-67A9-45EE-990B-275795B1FDBC.jpeg 6BC97A4D-C342-46D0-B915-61D596199687.jpeg B67889D3-4DB3-4D53-A17B-A1F421A3B123.jpeg

    Very nice! There is something special about a golden oldie being restored back to life and running well.
    Good work Darryl
