Hi Bobby, yea I can see there has been a decline in lanterns on ebay. Just doing a search on blizzards alone there are a lot less results as compared to 3 to 5 years ago when I was more active in collecting and actually had more money to invest in this hobby. I've also noticed selling in general my lantern and lamp collection its become more difficult to sell, I'm guessing because of our economy. Anyways you've always provided very useful info and it'd be honored to have this lantern find a new home in your collection. Would also help me out for the extra holiday expencess coming up next week. Thanks once again!!
