Hello~
This is the feeling of YURAGIOUTDOOR!
This time, we have started handling brass lanterns a little while ago.
Let me tell you about the "Vermont Lantern"!
Lanterns made of brass are characterized by the fact that the more they are used, the better they become, and the vintage texture goes well with fashionable camping, making this a popular category.
(Left is new, right is after change)
first,,
What is brass? ?
Generally, it is a type of alloy of copper and zinc, and refers to an alloy with a zinc content of 20% or more.
Brass in English notation.
In familiar terms, it is used for wind instruments such as saxophones and trumpets, and I think that the word "brass band", which describes an orchestra that uses only brass instruments, is familiar.
It is also used in other 5-yen coins, and it is a metal that exists unexpectedly around us.
(Brass cutlery is also cute, maybe I should buy it...)
The main features are high electrical conductivity , excellent hot forgeability , excellent ductility , and high machinability .
What does that mean,
・High electrical conductivity
Easy to conduct electricity
・Excellent hot forgeability
easy to process
・Excellent ductility
Easy to stretch
・High cutting processing
Easy to sharpen
・Excellent corrosion resistance
rust resistant
(However, please be aware that nitric acid, hydrochloric acid, and sulfuric acid may corrode accordingly.)
Convenient and cool metal!
Now that we know what brass is,
Let me explain what a Vermont lantern is.
The Vermont Lantern Company is a family owned lantern manufacturer based in Vermont, USA.
A small business that started in my garage in 1998 for those looking for unique brass oil lamps & lanterns, we now sell over 250 models.
A favorite around the world for over 20 years, Vermont lanterns have been used to decorate fine restaurants around the world, as well as many movie and television sets.
"small is beautiful"
There is a saying in Vermont that "small is beautiful." With this word in mind, Vermont Lantern also plans, manufactures, and sells oil lamps and lanterns that are small but unique and have excellent design.
