The Frowo GL 770 is a German hurricane lantern enclosed in a housing, made between 1954 and 1965. GL stands for Gespannleuchte, meaning it could be used on a trailer.
The lantern itself is marked Frowo Nr. 770; the housing is marked Frowo D.P.
It burns kerosene and the globe is unmarked. Condition is very good, there are no visible faults, and the lantern is in working order.
Worth knowing: there is no globe lift, which makes the lantern awkward to use. The easiest way to light it is to use the chimney ring and work a lighter in between the chimney and the globe. To put it out, lift the globe rest slightly, turn the flame down and blow hard.
Measurements:
Height: 24 cm (9.4 in) including housing
Width: 17 cm (6.7 in) including hook
Hook opening: 38 mm (1.5 in)
A lantern you buy for the look of it, not to light at a moment's notice.
