Bing AG\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIt has a long handle that folds neatly away into a recess at the back. There are also two handles at the back, but these are fixed in place.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMetal plates can be slid in to black it out on all three sides; at the back there is a small compartment to keep them in, these plates are not at the lamp anymore.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eInside is a clip to hold the candle in place. I expect it originally also held a kerosene reservoir, judging by the space provided for it and the small lever inside.\u003cbr\u003eThe chimney can be extended and locked in place.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAt the back, at the bottom, a solder joint has come loose — see the photos as well.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMade by Gebr. Bing A.G. of Nuremberg. Most likely from around 1910-1930. Given the blackout function, possibly WWI.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIt has a loop both on top and at the back. A very solid and special model. Normally you see this model with the glass sliding into two grooves, but this one has a very unusual half-round faceted glass. The shape of the top cap is also very attractive.\u003cbr\u003eComes with a candle holder.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eNaturally it shows some light signs of age, which gives the lamp character.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eHeight excluding handle: 22 cm (8.7 in), chimney retracted.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Rare Oil Lamps","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":53687162798416,"sku":null,"price":135.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0918\/6620\/2448\/files\/IMG20260923210149.jpg?v=1790194623","url":"https:\/\/rareoillamps.com\/products\/rare-old-and-vintage-hand-lantern-candle-lantern-heavy-model-german-maker-gebr-bing-ag","provider":"Rare Oil Lamps","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
