ANCIENT ANSWERS INCOMING because I lost this notif. Answering now for reference as Neal continues his Sherlock-like snooping.

— The metal of the lanterns is consistent, all a type of brass. There might be a few repeating markings, but they are purely aesthetic design markings. They vary in level of tarnish. The paper is early 1900s. The candles are all the same type, traditionally made with techniques common in the early 1900s.

— The bookstore windows are not still doing the creepy thing, at least not all the time...

— A change that will commonly be seen is a single pivotal line in a poem being changed. If a poem references an oak tree, it might instead be an elm. Or the tone of the poem might change, a few lines shifting it from hopeful to sad. The bulk of a poem will be exactly the same, but the changes will be noticeable to anyone with a keen knowledge of the poem.

— The symbol from the TDM is not there. The symbols Quentin posted may seem similar to various occult symbols, but there is nothing exactly matching anything Neal might be familiar with. There are many with a twisting or spiraling element to them. The map is not there.

SORRY FOR THE INSANE DELAY.
