    Got onto to this one a while back - little sad and gave it the once over today.

    Still have some dull spots on the fount and just don't know how far to go without burrowing down to the brass. An older Austamax donated a new globe. Generator had a strip, burnt off the mesh and an ultrasonic bath
    Love these lanterns, engineered simplicity. This one now lights well and burns bright

    Nice work, @jaykay1320.

    Did the lantern have a Cougar label on the collar?
