"This book delivers exactly what its blurb advertises.

HOW TO CLEAN AND RESTORE RAILROAD LANTERNS FAST & EASY. This critically acclaimed, 8 1/2" x 11" softcover book, was written by a nationally recognized lantern collector. The book details how to use safe chemicals and products that are available in your local hardware store. The great strength of the book is the step-by-step procedures clearly shown along with photos. If you only own one railroad lantern or metal artifact with rust, grime, and dents, YOU NEED THIS BOOK. Following the steps will give you a lantern that looks the way it did when it was first made without losing its glorious age patina. Lastly, the book shows you how to preserve that 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 the book. THIS LANTERN LOOKS NEW!! Your book would be a bargain at twice the price." Brett B., Linden, NJ.
