    I have went back and looked twice but didn't see where it said

    Coke I could believe, but then the mustard comment makes me think I am overlooking something?????
    It's kind of a running joke with Mike. He puts mustard on everything. And I mean everything. Watched him put mustard on chocolate chip cookies and eating them.

      The coca cola really does work. It's way cheaper than Metal Rescue. Get some brass polish and get to work. Casey used some kind of polishing tool on one of his lanterns.

        I used Coke on this brass. Metal Rescue also works. Be careful with the Metal Rescue. It is STRONG. I had it eat thru a rusty font.

          Nice blue flame breakfast at the lease this morning on my 1982 425F. I bought this stove new at Sears along with a 288 double mantle lantern. Both still burn great

            I used my worksharp knife sharpener and a buffing wheel to make really blacked up burner parts shine!

              That stuff just removed the rust that was clogging up the hole.

                I left the Metal Rescue in the font too long. It found a rusted weak spot and ate thru.[emoji26]

                    I do. I'm knee deep in putting this '49 lantern back together...thanks to this thread and a rainy day.

                    Is thread dope required on these things? I can't remember.

                    I'll post a pic shortly.

                      For whatever reason, eggs and bacon from the top of a coleman stove just taste better to me

                                Outstanding Casey !!! You need to take that lantern to your lease in South Texas. That old gal deserves to burn in hunting camp again.
