Beautiful restoration! :occasion14:
 

Wow, that was fast! It looks great. Can't tell from the pic, did you electrify it?

Thanks Kray .. I did electrify it. I am trying to locate one of those "fire bulbs" that would be bright enough to throw out a little light as well as looking more true to the flames the lamp would have originally had. I still have to bury the conduit.
 

Didn't think it would take that long for ya :tongue3: Great looking piece there Rob....my hat's off!!

Thank you! The hardest part was trying to figure out how to get the bulb socket in there as rotted as the tank was. Thank goodness for coffee cans! :coffee2:
 

That looks great! Good job
 

That came out great! That lamp post really makes it :icon_thumleft:
 

That is awesome I like seeing stuff like that restored. We spend so much time digging history because we can appreciate it this is the one step further Well done my Friend. Tommy
