Funny that you mentioned a match. I was at an estate sale Saturday and I saw several books of matches. I haven't seen them in a long time.tainkc wrote:

Personally, I think they over pay a lot on that show. By the way, what do you mean by "Great shot!"? It is just a photo of a stupid lantern. Lol.tainkc wrote:

Tell you what. Next time that I sneeze and I phlegm all over my monitor, I'll take a photograph of it and let you tell me how great of a shot it was . Then I will sit back and read all of the other responses. Lol.

I know you have seen this thread.:) That is not a bad looking lantern. Needs some work, but it would still be cool hanging out on your top deck.:) And to stop the smell you use lamp oil. I have 5 of these hanging on poles around the camp fire circle in the back yard. Have them filled with citronella for the bugs.:)
