SIF 500 Vintage French Storm Lantern – Beautiful Usable Condition – Rare Bird‑Pattern Glass – 1950s–1970s

Sold
Ships worldwide from the Netherlands, securely packaged for safe delivery.

French SIF 500 hurricane lantern, in nice, fully usable condition. The base is marked "SIF Double Font", referring to the manufacturer Société Industrielle de Ferblanterie, a major producer of storm lamps in the mid-20th century. Likely from the 1950s–1970s.

One notable feature is the non-original glass globe, decorated with a bird with outstretched wings. SIF lanterns were originally fitted with plain, unmarked glass, so this replacement globe stands out. The glassmaker is unknown.

Good working order, fitted with a new wick, used only with clean kerosene.

Suitable for a collection, or as lighting at home, in the garden, or on holiday.
