Because of your special interest in that particular lantern, I would do nothing but a very gentle cleaning. Test whatever cleaning product you plan to use on a small, out of the way spot to make sure it does nothing to the paint. You could pick up another 150 and "restore" it to look exactly like your BOSTON POLICE lantern would have originally looked. Welcome, but you need to watch out, these old lanterns can become a serious addiction! Just my 2 cents.
Best wishes and Merry Christmas,
Les
