1912 Rayo Pony Lantern No 21 Restoration / Rebuild

Hello and welcome folks. Today I’m restoring this 1912 Pony No 21 Lantern. This item was sent to me by good friend Steve. @slwrestorations I received this over 12 months ago but I waited until I had all the tools required to be able to restore this to a level I would be satisfied with. This might look like an easy project but it has taken me a good 6 weeks to complete. I found this to be one of the most challenging projects I have completed so far. Turning the new base and inner pieces was something I had never tried before so this took a bit of practice to get it right. I seemed to have drama after drama along the way but it all came together in the end, If your reading this please watch some of my other projects and leave a comment. Receiving comments is one of the best things about restoration work, it makes it all worth while. #Restoration #Antique #lantern
