Be that as it may, this one is likely to take some time. Outside, it looks great. Inside, not so much. Apparently, the previous owner was burning regular automotive gasoline in it...not that there's anything wrong with that, but if automotive gasoline is used, it is not good to leave it in the tank for an extended period of time. Rumor has this one stopped working in the 70's. So, it's got around 50 years of varnish build up in it. It's gonna take a lot of soaking to melt it all out. Additionally, replacement parts may be a little difficult to locate for an 85 year old lantern. I will endeavor to persevere.
