My 4/62 Model 200A Restovication

"Burgundy" 4/62 Model 200A

I picked this lantern up 11/20/2010 from my sisters cousins husband for helping him split firewood. It belonged to his dad. It was really dirty as it was sitting in his shop on a shelf for years. I did not realize it was a "burgundy" until I got it home and sat it next to my 4/72. The difference in color was quite apparent even through the dirt. I posted a pic on the CCF just to get it verified. :-) From the CCF: "These lanterns were painted this burgundy color from 10/61 to 4/62 then were a deep red from 6/62 to 12/62. "

It's not perfect by any means. The paint is chipped in many places on the fount and is stained The frame is rusted, and the bottom rim is rough. but the globe is original and perfect. The vent also has two chips one large. All the pics above show the lantern before I cleaned anything on it.
