Lastly, the book shows you how to preserve your valuable lantern or metal artifact so that it will never deteriorate.

"I just finished cleaning my first lantern using the methods described in your book and can hardly believe it! The lantern is a Dressel marked CRRofNJ. It had some green paint, but mostly dirt and rust. I followed the step by step directions in this book. THIS LANTERN LOOKS NEW!! Your book would be a bargain at twice the price."
