    I found this lantern in the wild. Original condition, i did wash the grime of it. I thought a day time picture may better show it off. 20200825_100412.jpg 20200825_100357.jpg

    Very nice, Darryl.

    I see that the transfer says “Radiant Star”. That’s good information.

    Is the spirit cup pressed from stamped brass like mine here?


    Cheers
