Justin, I've got probably a dozen or so 3/4" wicks, you're welcome to a couple of 'em 
Got a couple of pics, here's a 70 hour Dietz Little Giant made for L.A. County. It's got La. Co. R.D. stenciled in black paint on the side of the font, I'm guessing road department:
Here's a Monarch with a City Of Milwaukee globe:

I would never had guessed I would be reading about old lanterns here. I guess it's all in what interests you.
My friend Glen has a cabin in Big Bear and he collects those as well. I believe he has around 40 of them. All old and found around the country.
