vhteumji rgrje posted an update Another gloriously hideous chandelier, actually Replica Ray Ban Sonnenbrillen, an antique Bier Garten. candelabra, from the old country. Came from a German Saloon with German immigrants, perhaps a little before the Villa Finale was built. By the turn of the century, it wound up at the Buckhorn Saloon, open during Prohibition, to make it's way to Walter's back den. Ride of the Valkyries? Yes, that kind of Rhine Maiden, cf., Wagner's Ring Cycle, first and last opera. She was supposed to guard the gold in the Rhine.The other bizarre piece is a very art nouveau lamp. The threesome. Kind of hard to tell, but looks like two naked women intertwined with a single topless guy. Story was, he bought this as a tabletop lamp, and at close to five or six feet tall, it doesn't really set well on a tabletop, but that's what it is now.

After you get all the cleaner rinsed off Cheap Ray Bans, dry the lamp parts with a hair dryer set on low. It takes me about 45 minutes to clean the brass part of the lantern.

To clean the lamp, you'll need the following:

When I start cleaning an old brass lamp, I remove the flint from the striker. which is located on the reflector. Just unscrew the cap and turn the lamp over and the flint and spring should fall out into your hand. Then I empty the fuel tank and flush it out with water.

Out the back door, onto the back porch. It's easy to see Ray Ban baratas, while getting off the booties, where the new stuff had been added on the original building. Underneath the back portion, a cellar was added.One of the owners, owned the Casino when it was located n downtown San Antonio, and when the Prohibition hit, moved his operation to his cellar. Unverified. Gambling operations, bawdy house, speakeasy, all by reputation, but not substantiating facts support the allegations.Once the booties are off, there's a small arc around the building Walter Mathis's ashes are interred under a small flag, the small gatehouse and the big carriage house serves as onsite offices for some, plus a bathroom and lockers for over-sized purses.There are three friezes, set in the southern wall, borders the property. Same artist as the Cenotaph for the Alamo, downtown.

If you want your brass to shine like new, use Brasso. It works really well! Brasso is also abrasive, so be careful how much you rub.

Brass carbide miners lamps are popular with cavers. There are modern reproductions available, but many people like to get genuine vintage models to use. If the lamps aren't in working condition, they still make a lovely display. The old brass polishes up nicely. Some retired miners collect them.

* Old tooth brush

When you are done with the brass it will be a shiny brassy brown. Some people like to use Limeaway to speed up the job, but I don't. It will save you a little scrubbing but if you leave the lamp in the solution too long the brass will turn pink.

* Glass stove top cleaner

To clean the reflector, I use chrome cleaner (available from auto parts stores) and rub until clean with an old tee-shirt.

* Brasso

When you're finished, buff the entire lap with clean tee-shirt material, and then reassemble it. You'll be quite pleased with the results!

If you want your Vintage Brass Miners Lamp to retain an aged patina after it's clean, try using glass stove top cleaner and an old tooth brush. First scrub the lamp with the glass cleaner, using the toothbrush to clean the crevices,then rinse with water.

* Hair dryer
