Below you will find an overview of the Winged Wheel hurricane lanterns that have passed through my hands over the years.

For a detailed historical background of the company, please visit the page below:

It is difficult to determine with absolute certainty, but in my opinion this is an early pre-war model of the Winged Wheel hurricane lantern, which was later known as the No. 350.

With a height of 19 cm, this hurricane lantern is comparable in size to the Feuerhand 175.

A notable difference compared to later versions is that this lantern only features the Winged Wheel logo, without the additional markings and extensive text that can be found on later Winged Wheel models.

This is a later version of the smaller Winged Wheel hurricane lantern.

Unlike the earlier model, this version does feature additional markings with the following text:

Winged Wheel
Made in Japan
No. 350

This hurricane lantern also has a height of 19 cm, making it comparable in size to the Feuerhand 175.

In my opinion, it is probably not a coincidence that this model was given the number 350, exactly double the number of the Feuerhand 175.

In addition to this tin-plated version, the Winged Wheel No. 350 was also produced in several other colours, including yellow, red, blue, green, and purple.

This is the Winged Wheel 400. It is exactly the same size as a Feuerhand 275, which is almost certainly the lantern it was based on. The Winged Wheel 400 was also released in a great many different colours. Its height is 24.5 cm.

The tank is marked:

Made in Japan
Winged Wheel
*No 400 *

The little stars are particularly noticeable, as they are also used on many versions of the Feuerhand 275, where they also appear to the left and right of the model number.

Photographs to follow shortly.

This is the Winged Wheel 500, made specifically for the American market and distributed by Sears. This is clearly recognisable from the wholesaler's name on the fuel cap. This hurricane lantern is considerably larger than the Winged Wheel 350, standing 30.5 cm tall.

Another attractive detail is the logo on the glass, which features an image of a winged wheel.

The Winged Wheel 500 is also the hurricane lantern that is still in production today. It is released in a range of colours and variations, and sometimes in limited editions as well, such as the one issued for the company's 100th anniversary — see also my page on the history of Winged Wheel.

This hurricane lantern is part of my friend Keith's collection, and I am grateful to him for the photographs that allowed me to add it to this page.

A model you don't come across all that often is the Winged Wheel 750. It stands 33 cm tall and has a completely different design. The shape of the air tubes is somewhat reminiscent of the Embury Air Pilot. The fuel cap is not positioned in the centre either. This one, too, has a glass globe bearing the Winged Wheel logo.

This hurricane lantern carries the following markings:

This hurricane lantern comes from the collection of my friend Henk Stormlamp, and my thanks go to him as well for taking the photographs and letting me use them.
