Unique Feuerhand 276 STK/70 Safety Lantern – Vintage German Hurricane Lantern with Stained Glass
Feuerhand Baby Special 276 STK/70, a safety hurricane lantern originally used on construction sites and roadwork, made in Western Germany. Known for its extra-large fuel tank, allowing up to 70 hours of burn time, hence the "70" in its name.
What makes this one distinctive is a custom stained glass design with yellow, blue, orange, and green colours, making it a one-of-a-kind piece. Note: glass has minor damage; the original "Foreign" marking is faintly visible under old paint.
