Trusty Rusty, my woefully neglected Embury No. 2 Air Pilot camping lantern, was overdue for a restoration. The tipping point came when it started putting off a funky odor when lit. As you'll see in the video, I found out that culprit was a wasp's nest.
I learned of using electrolysis for rust removal from one of Wood Magazine's YouTube videos found here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=54ADeB6V1rQ&t=284s
I found what looked to be a close match to original paint color and took some liberty in painting some of the internal hot parts with high temp black paint. I like the contrast.
