SLGV* One Off Lantern


I thought I'd share my latest Self Lighting Gas Lantern, I have no plans to make others quite like this. It was just a little project to keep me sane.
Specifications:
Material 360 Naval Brass, 1.875 over all length by .750 hex.
All six side have a viewing slot, and the bottom employs a 1/4-20 ss socket set screw modified with a viewing hole as well. I made a Lucite tube to protect the Self Lighting Gas Vial. At the top I added some fancy ball mill divots for aesthetics.
I purposely used the Brass so this will show wear, tear, and tarnishing over time. The goal is to have this look like something out of a futuristic Sci-Fi movie.
Thanks for checking in folks, Kenn

John,
As always thank you for the encouraging comments.
I hope you enjoy it, and please put it to use instead of collecting dust on a shelf.
