• Gas lanterns or gas devices as they were called
  back in the late 1900s was the earliest form of
  modern street lighting.  One of Europes greatest
  displays of gas street lighting took place in
  1866 when Queen Victoria unveiled the famous
  statue of Prince Albert in Queen Square in Wolver
  Hampton.  Thousands joined in the town square
  that evening to see the queen and marvel at the
  illuminated brilliance of the town square from
  gas lantern lights.  These first gas lanterns we
  fabricated by Ready Son and eventually
  displayed at the Wolver Hampton industrial
  exhibition of 1869 and again in 1902.  Early gas
  lanterns were constructed of sheet metal and tin
  and assembled using a soldiered lead technique
  developed first in the automotive industry.  That
  same soldering technique for assembling outdoor
  gas lanterns still is the preferred method today.

• Over the years scores of people learned the art
  form of lead soldering and sheet metal
  fabrication. Eventually, more expensive metals,
  such as copper, were introduced and have become
  the standard for todays gas lanterns.  Copper
  was first used by man over 10,000 years ago.
  We're in no danger of running out of copper. 
  Known worldwide resources of this important and
  valuable metal are estimated at nearly 5.8
  trillion pounds of which only about 0.7 trillion
  (12) have been mined throughout history.

• A copper pendant discovered in what is now
  northern Iraq has been dated about 8700 B.C. 
  Copper is a wonder metals that ages and patinas
  beautifully creating old world charm for a
  decorative gas lantern. Several significant
  improvements increased the brilliance and
  efficiency of the gas light.   Early craftsman
  pinched the end of the gas tube to a fan shape,
  mixing air with the gas before the point at which
  it was lit.   Another improvement  involved
  surrounding the flame with a mantle of metallic
  oxide cloth until it glowed brighter than the
  flame were all important innovations in the quest
  for more light.

  that has been passed down from generation to

  gas lanterns is Andrew Bevolo, Sr. who set the
  standard for gas lanterns in New Orleans and
  around the country.  Mr. Bevolos gas lanterns
