Below is an overview of the hurricane lanterns and road danger lamps made by Chalwyn. No official catalogues or factory documentation are in my collection, which makes precise dating impossible. The company was active from 1943 to 2000, which gives a broad timeframe for these products.

For the historical background of the company, see the page below.

The New Lynx succeeded the Chalwyn Lynx and turns up far less often. This one was probably made in the 1970s.

It is marked New Lynx on the top and Chalwyn on the side of the frame, and the tank is inscribed "Made in England – Chalwyn New Lynx". The glass is the original branded one and is still in very good condition.

Height: 32 cm without the handle

Restored and in very good condition. Production is placed somewhere between the 1950s and the 1970s.

The original glass carries the Chalwyn logo and is marked Made in England; the tank is stamped Made in England – Chalwyn "Lynx".

One feature worth pointing out: this lantern has a glass lifter, which hot-blast lanterns rarely do.

Height: 34.5 cm without the handle

New old stock, finished in blue hammer tone, with the original branded glass still in its protective plastic sleeve. The plastic fuel cap belongs to the later production and does not corrode. This is one of the larger models in the Chalwyn range.

The tank is marked Tempest Chalwyn. It carries the Chalwyn name, but my assumption is that this lantern was made in China.

Height: 33 cm without the lifting ring or handle

Restored and fully working. The original glass carries the Chalwyn logo and is a deep ruby red.

The tank is stamped Made in England – Chalwyn FAR EAST.

Height: 34 cm without the lifting ring or handle

Production is generally placed in the 1960s or 1970s. The tank is stamped Made in England – Chalwyn Tropic.

Height: 25 cm without the lifting ring or handle
