I wish someone would make them. War department crabs about the intensity of the light given off by the mantles with the clear glass globes....

I‘ve looked. I was not able to find any, so I used a glass etch kit. I got mine at a local craft store, but they are also online. It worked fine. I even made a fancy one with a loon, for my uncle.

Just go and buy an extra clear globe and frost it yourself or take it to a place that does sandblasting and see if they can frost it for you. I imagine the chemical frosting type stuff for DIY won't take the heat of the lantern. So I'd go the acid etching or sandblasting methods myself. Check with either a custom glass company or a cemetary monument business about the sandblasting.

Now you guys have given me ideas. Will pick up a spare and try the chemical approach first.

thanks..

I absolutely despise the light from those lanterns, so I sympathize with your camp mates.

You might find one at Old Coleman Parts.

No idea where my first post went?
Go to an auto repair place and ask if they have a glass bead blaster, most have them to clean carbon off the parts. See if they will blast a test piece for you, if you like it blast the globe.
