Ships worldwide from the Netherlands, securely packaged for safe delivery.

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
Glass: Auer marked, half red
Markings: Made in Germany
Condition: Untreated for rust; protection recommended for prolonged outdoor use
