I've been the editor of the Arizona Authors Association for the past few years, as well as an editor for major corporations throughout the past 30-plus years. Manufactory is an acceptable but outdated term; manufactury is a variant, and factory is just plain easier. However, I agree on the "charm" part in using manufactory, lampions, and several other words.
