    Yes works real well, runs bright even with a newer mantle, need to find an old Tilley Thorium mantle, and put my sunglasses on :-) This one i just cleaned up and waxed up slightly, like them in that non restored but slightly re-furbished condition.

    Hi again

    Finally got the glass shade in the mail, i think it looks just beautiful.
    Got many questions around the color, and i just want to say, that this is the original color from the factory painted in the 1940's , the only things i have changed is, all the seals, it still has the vaporizer that was on it when found, but the glass shade is a re-pop.

    Is the shade a Moncrieff reproduction?
