Re: Isenglass/mica sheets
Thanks Sister Lawson,
I was hoping for bigger sheets than 6x8 but perhaps I can make do with these. BTW, IMHO better for use in certain lanterns than glass -- much lighter and less fragile -- and completely authentic.
Cordially,

Hurrying to steal your idea, just when I'd about started leaving lanterns at home because I was always having to replace the glass......Terre Hood Biederman

Re: Isenglass/mica sheets
The folding lantern on Page 223 of Union EOG (Patent 46011 on the US Patent site) used Mica sheets. They appear in the patent description. There was a thread on the old site where someone stated that although the patent date is Jan 1865, they'd been present at a dig where one was found where the dig was dated to 1863 (?)
