Thanks for the apology. I do my best to be accurate, but I also enjoy writing about something that I have found that I do not think others selling the same or similar items know about the item. For example, I once sold a glass dish with lily pads as a pattern. The pattern was named Lily Pons Pattern. Most thought the "Pons" was a misspelling of ponds. I found the pattern had actually been named after Lily Pons who was a long ago opera singer. You never know what you find when you go looking. I truly do not add my research findings to my listings to try to hype the price up, but to make the listing interesting, and perhaps fun for those who view it. And yes sometimes I use the word rare, but that is when I have not found any or many of the item when looking at eBay or when googling. I actually did not find many No 210 Supreme with a red lamp, whether bent or not, so that is why I labeled mine rare. When I originally researched this item a couple of months ago, I did find two examples of lanterns bent in the same way, one with NO 210 SUPREME on one side and AIR PILOT on the other. That lantern was silver blue in color with the red lamp. Unfortunately, I did not keep the link and cannot find it again. So sad, would have loved to direct you all to those pictures. So answer these questions for me. If this lantern were bent accidentally, why would the bottom or tank not also be dented or in some way disturbed by the action? Why would the weld holding the bottom of the tubes to the tank not be cracked or broken where it attaches to the tank? And why would the angle of the tubes be the same on both sides of the lantern? Maybe it may not have been used to signal planes but it was made this way for a purpose, and I believe it was made this way at the factory. Of course I suppose it could be a "second" that perhaps some factory worker took home from the discard pile. Who knows.
