    I'm about finished refurbishing my second lantern, circa 1936-41 Prentiss-Wabers 742.43. Bought it on Ebay and am awatiing a gasket and leather pump cup to arrive. Hopefully it will light up and provide more "Hiss therapy" in the evenings...

    Very nice, Bruce. These lanterns are built like tanks.
