Today I found this grody Port Light lantern (which looks identical to those currently being sold by Cheeky Tiki and is therefore likely not incredibly old) which is now the latest addition to the lamp collection. The red gel paint on the glass shade had some damage, so it was decided to repaint it in opaque red, attempting along the way to give it a wipe-away patina to match the grime of the rest of the lamp (a la Skip). Good job on that light. I still have one I need to finish. Never look at this thread that much it was a fluke that I saw this at all, glad my tips helped someone.
