I usually skip over lanterns that are a wreck because I really don't have that much experience. Maybe these two should stay on the shelf until I can practice on some more common types. The Rayo 100 on the left needs the cone holding the top of the globe reattached. It also needs a lift handle and a little work on the crown. The Rayo 102 I found in a garbage bag at an antique shop. I cleaned up the copper fount a little. It needs work at the crown end and the right tube has separated along the seam. It aslo needs work where the handle would attach. Any tips on anything on the fix list would be appreciated. The catalog also mentioned that these had a satin finish. Any thoughts on how these originally looked?
