Pictured is my restored Buckeye Dash. I know there is a lot of disagreement among collectors about refinishing lanterns but this Buckeye was rusted beyond being useful..
I used the "Sodium carbonate" method to strip and had good results with some tinkering. The reflector was beyond restoring to its original "tinned" surface, so I purchased a can of "Chrome Paint" from my local auto parts store and it worked quite well (see August 22nd post, and thank you W. Miller)
Enjoyed restoring it, Hope you enjoy the photo!!
