Ah ha! I must have bought that one after all and then packed it up with the other Monarchs, I thought I was missing a couple, now I know where they went. Anyway that is not factory paint, it was a very good job of masking though. The production date is S-2-40 on this one. After cleaning off the gold paint I realized that there aren't patent dates on any of the streamlined Monarch lanterns either, like the D-Lite they have the actual patent numbers stamped in their place.
I am curious though what part of the country Chucky bought his D-Lite on the odd chance he wound up with the one I used to own, it is a smaller world than we think sometimes.
