A very nice presentation, sir. You should realize many purist, snob collectors cringe when swapping of older parts with newer imported parts occurs. My thoughts on that is "keep them burning". If you use mismatched parts from different models so be it. Later on, over the years, I've obtained "donor" pieces and got a proper globe or fuel cap or a better looking vent to bring a lantern looking more "correct". In the mean time I didn't have 10 lanterns hanging around and not working. You seem to be a hard worker who enjoys what he's doing. Enjoy a great life.
