The fount can be removed the lantern, and the burner can be easily removed from the fount. The wick adjustment knob turns, but there is no wick. The entire lantern has been painted. There are some rust holes on the lid of the lantern as well as the base of the lantern. The rust holes don't look to affect the fount.
