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

Meva 863 hurricane lantern, produced in Czechoslovakia in 1971, fully functional. The predecessor of this model was the BAT 158, and the Meva 863 continues that tradition of durability.

What makes this one distinctive is its finish: the original paint was removed because it wasn't heat-resistant, revealing a textured surface that looks like natural veins.
