<p>I like that particular shape of base. Hunter's have character. I say leave the dents and scratches. All part of an old lamps charm. Having said that, I guess you can 'iron out' the dints.</p>

<p>The Hunter Lamp I bought on Ebay arrived today and I must say the dents were not as bad as I expected them.</p>

The copper is not very hard so most of the visible damage is gone already. This was done within 5 minutes. So I expect with some efforts and some time i will be able to make It smooth again.</p>

<p>Best i have found is to heat up the damaged area with a wide flame on propane torch and use small tapping hammer and dolly to ease out the dents.Is al in having the properly shaped dolly (can make from wood if need be) and a softwood (pine) base to hammer out the dents. It will never get perfect through</p>
