Rare Portuguese Hurricane Lantern – Hipolito No. 175 with Red Glass (1960s–1970s)
Rare Hipolito 175 hurricane lantern from Portugal. Robust design, in good vintage condition, with a striking red glass globe and a seahorse emblem embossed on the tank.
Interestingly, this model shares the same size and type number as the Feuerhand 175, likely not a coincidence.
