Beautiful and Rare German Hurricane Lantern – Bee 75, Look‑alike of the Bat 158, Made in Germany, 1970s/1980s

The Bat 158 is fairly common, but this Bee 75 is much harder to find.
It is in very good condition and fully working. On the tank you’ll find a bee stamped in the spot where the bat would normally be on the Bat 158. For comparison, I’ve included a photo next to a Bat 158.

The glass is marked with a star and the word Cristal.

Naturally, it has light signs of age, which add to its character.
A great addition to any collection, but also perfectly suitable for practical use at home, in the garden, or on holiday.

Height (excluding pull ring and handle): 25 cm
Text on tank: Bee No. 75
Manufacturer: Mewa
Production date: 1970s/1980s

Note:
The lantern has not been treated against rust. If used outdoors, it will still need protection.
