I love having someone to gawk over dog pictures with. Skipper's got a helluva smile. Rub his ears for me and OMG at the gas lanterns in the cabinet behind him! I haven't seen one of those in.. I don't even know.
I had my mothers' when I was a kid. I burned it all the time. Refuel it, burn it. Think I even changed the wick a couple times. Must've been 4n1/2 decades ago. No idea what happened to that thing. Blue, like yours.
Nice recall. = }
