Re: [CBQ] Tall Globe Lantern needs cleaning

Ray,

My bad. I use to have a mind like a steel trap, but now it is rusted shut and leaks like a sieve.

I meant to say WT Kirkman Lanterns  at lanternnet.com  Also try 

railwaylanternlamp.com   Good Luck

Noel.

Noel,

 

Thanks for the info. I googled " Kirk Lanterns" there are a lot that come up but none that appear to be RR related. Do you have a web site or email for him?

 

Thanks,

RAY

Ray,

  I have two of the same lantern. Had to get a reproduction globe.  You may try a rag dampened with

Laquer THINER not mineral spirits then use windex with vinigar. Also talk to Kirk Lanterns.

I have a Burlington tall globe lantern with the square logo embossed on the globe. It is in great shape, except for the globe. It has a "milky" film on the globe that I would like to remove. Other than Windex, I have yet to try anything else. I have read that water and vinegar can clear cloudy glasses, but not certain how that would work on the globe. I know that vinegar can etch glass, so I am hesitant in trying this method.

Anyone have any suggestions?

Thank
Ray Bedard
