Anyone ever see a lantern box around here? (Mass)

[FishingNewEngland]

I think I want to get one but have never seen one around here. Only on Ice Shanty in the mid west. I didn't see any on ebay either.

I'd love to get my hands on one. If you see any out there, let me know.

ive seen one on here somewhere and if i remeber correctly its just a wooden box with a mesh screen that the lantern goes in. i bet if u cant find one u could make one pretty easily.

Good point. Maybe I'll hunt for plans.

They look pretty simple to build Mark. If you build it you can make to what you want.

one of my dad's old timer friends had one when we were smelting overnight on Littleville, only time i've ever seen one, i was about 12 at the time, so about 22 years ago.

My grandfather had one of sorts when I was a kid for fishing. It was a metal bucked. It had an small holes drilled in the top to sit on and keep warm and then it had some mesh on the bucket itself to let light out. Inside there was some spacers of sorts to hold the lantern tight.
