Red Lantern

I almost started collecting vintage 1950's lanterns the other day after stumbling upon a really neato red one in its original box (apologies for forgetting to get the freakin' name of it-- arghh!) The lantern itself was in fair condition, but what was truly right up my dimly lit alley, were the incredibly cute illustrations on the box it came in, of which I happily snapped a couple pix with my camera phone the second I set my eyes upon 'em. And yes, though I may be a middle aged man at this point in my lengthy 'ol life, I have to admit that I most definitely identify with the first set of 6 images below, much much more than the second.
