The BAT 158 was made by VEB Sturmlaternenwerk in Beierfeld, Germany. This is a rare example in the tombac version, with a wonderful copper colour, most likely dating from the 1960s.
This lantern has a lever. The tombac version with a chain still turns up regularly; the one with a lever I rarely see.
The fount is marked BAT No 158 Made in Germany. The filler cap additionally carries a hallmark reading 38/369/0105 K1 and an S in a triangle.
The globe is marked Bat is brightest, though the lettering has faded somewhat.
It burns kerosene and is in working order.
The lantern is in lovely vintage condition.

Height: 25 cm (9.8 in)
It still lights, but the copper colour of the tombac is reason enough on its own to put it on a shelf.
