this little lantern has only been with me for two weeks. It worked nicely from the first day. And I think an original globe. Red pointer style jet cleaner, and stamped D^D.

Austramax. They are a great runner, they are very collectible when you get into them. Hours of fun , the sun in a jar
Beautiful lanterns Darryl.i have never seen a vent like that second one. I am inspired to shine my two up. Now they are running nicely they deserve a spa treatment. I do love old things that were built to last.
