    You mentioned modifying the burners to stabilize the flame, can you do a video on that?

    Beautiful lantern. Can't wait to see that metal! Please touch more on that uneven flame sometime, I've got some earlier ones that tend to favor one side as well, wasn't sure if it was a partial clog or too much bottom draft on one side.

    When I look at lanterns, I often wonder how hard it would be to tool up to build tubular lanterns? I'm sure some collector with sheet metal stamping experience has done a study on this just for entertainment.

    Well done on the spring top!!! That's in fantastic shape. Love the Hamm. Can't wait to see it burn.. did it have a mirror or polished reflector?

    After seeing your video I was looking over my small collection and discovered I have one of these "spring tops." I doesn't have the stamped markings on the air tubes or a blow hole, but does have the spring top. Could you tell me something about this lantern? I could send photos if you are interested. Might sell or trade if you know anyone interested.
