Extremely Rare Hurricane Lantern – Feuerhand 275 STK – Early Post‑WWII Model, No “Baby” Marking, with Half‑Red Auer Glass
Rare Feuerhand storm lantern: the 275 STK.
While the Feuerhand 276 Sturmkappe appears regularly, the 275 Sturmkappe is harder to find — especially this early version, without the chimney vents in the air tubes and without the "Baby" marking on the tank. These early variants were produced only for a short period shortly after World War II.
Another distinctive feature is the marking "Made in Germany" (instead of "W. Germany"), pointing to early post-war production.
The lantern comes with half-coloured red Auer glass, originally used on wagons or vehicles to indicate front and rear position. Fitted with a new wick, used only with clean petroleum.
Shows signs of age, as expected. Suitable for a collection, or for use as lighting at home, in the garden, or on holiday.
Height (excluding handle): 26 cm
Wick: New
Fuel used: Clean petroleum only
