    New member here from Missouri USA. Hello to all and thanks for the space here.
    I'm seeking assistance with an incomplete early Economy 223 lantern I recently stumbled onto.
    Does anyone know the whereabouts of a complete lantern in a collection?
    I've learned this model is scarce at best.
    I'm hoping for some accurate measurements and possibly photos so I can reproduce the vent.
    Thanks again for your consideration.

    Welcome to CPL @Matt Evins

    Yes, one in the Reference Gallery Economy No.223 unfortunately the owner hasn't been on here since 2019.

    Thank you for the link.
    I did see the OP was not active.
    Too bad,that looks like a nice original example.
    I will use those photos for reference if nothing else turns up.

    Let me know how things work out with the vent. I have one I fixed up and have running really well but am also missing a vent for mine.
