Hi Found this oldie. It's dated 1926 . She has seen better days , a little rough here and there . The vent top needs some repairs , the rim is rather bent up and uneven . I'm thinking of making a set of small rollers to roll the vent edge straight again, a mini english wheel . I'm probably living in fantasy land - hoping to find a good Vent for this Toronto built lantern ?
Good find To restaure the vent edge, see here for a tool idea: Removing dents in formed brass objects
Thanks for the link. The brass vent shaped edges require a mini version of this English wheel - Wikipedia
I'd have thought that was a bit 'over-kill' to be honest. Surely a body hammer and dolly will do exactly the same job very much quicker and at little cost...
