Regarding Ed Mason: He had been an auto mechanic and was seriously injured on the job and was unable to work. He started restoring lanterns and made a little business out of it. He restored some lanterns for me, and I also purchased from him on ebay. He did really good work, well worth the money. He told me working on the lanterns was therapeutic in dealing with physical pain, the frustration of not being able to return to his job and the legal battle of getting coverage for his injuries. Sadly, he encounted some other serious health issues, one result of which was the gradual loss of his eyesight. I tried to encourage him and stay in contact but he withdrew from the hobby. I often wonder how he is now. I do miss him.
