Rare Vintage Frowo No. 50 Hurricane Lantern with Compass Rose Tank Logo – 1950s German Oil Lantern

Beautiful vintage Frowo No. 50 hurricane lantern in very good and fully working condition, featuring the rare compass rose (Windrose) marking on the fuel tank.

The compass rose logo is a special detail that was only used for a short period on selected Frowo hurricane lantern models, making this example particularly interesting for collectors.

Naturally, the lantern shows signs of age and use, adding to its authentic vintage character and charm.

The Frowo No. 50 is a compact German lantern, comparable in size to the well-known Feuerhand 175 model. This example most likely dates from the 1950s.

A wonderful addition to any vintage lantern collection, while also remaining perfectly suitable as atmospheric lighting for the home, garden, camping, or holiday use.
