An orange Luciole hurricane lantern by the French maker ALG, Guillouard, from the special 100th anniversary edition.
In 2011 Guillouard celebrated its 100th anniversary. To mark the occasion, a special limited version of the Luciole was released in orange; reportedly 1,000 of them were produced.
I can't be certain whether they brought out an orange version again in the years after, but I don't expect so.
The Luciole has been on the market since the 1960s. Until 2018 it was produced in Nantes, France; after that the French factory closed, and the current Guillouard is produced in Slovakia.
The colour doesn't come across entirely accurately in the photos; the second photo is closest to the real thing.
Naturally it still shows the marks of time, but that also gives the lantern its character.
A fine addition to a collection, but also still excellent for use as lighting in the house, in the garden or on holiday.
NOS, New Old Stock, so unused.
Height: 30 cm (11.8 in)
Unmarked globe, but with the lugs.
