You are bidding on a Thermos model 8326 lantern.  Looks like someone tried to restore it.  The fount and burner frame have for sure been painted.  The generator looks new.  It is missing the globe.  The vent is chip free.          

All I did was wipe the dust off of it.  I have not tested this item in any way but I see no reason why it could not be made to work as intended.  Payment expected within 2 days of auction end.  Non paying winners will be blocked from ever bidding again on my auctions.  Please ask questions early so I have time to answer.
