Rare Vintage Feuerhand 252 Hurricane Lantern – Post-War German Oil Lantern with Marked Glass
Rare vintage Feuerhand 252 hurricane lantern in beautiful vintage condition, fitted with its original marked glass globe in usable condition.
The Feuerhand 252 model is encountered far less frequently than the better-known 201 or 305 models and was most likely produced primarily for export markets. This particular example is from post-war production and can likely be dated to approximately 1955–1965.
Naturally, the lantern shows signs of age and use, adding to its authentic vintage character and industrial charm.
A wonderful addition to any antique lantern or Feuerhand collection, while also remaining perfectly functional as atmospheric lighting for the home, garden, camping, or holiday use.
