A nice collection of lanterns, they look great lit up! I've got a Feuerhand #275 in my collection, it's not quite as shiny as the one you have, but it still has its original wick and globe, and it still works just fine. The great thing about lanterns like this is so long as you take good care of them and keep the oil topped up, they will give you good, steady light for a lifetime, and Feuerhand made some of the best you could buy.
Hi, you can buy the same wick in 1m pieces. But when new, they transport kerosene rather poorly, you can wash the wick with your clothes and then roll it or otherwise threat it mechanically, so the microfibres in the cotton spread (enforces the capillary effect). But für the Stk 70 thats not enough, it need a "suction helper". Originally, this was a piece of felt attached to the wick on top and going to the tank bottom. I use many single cotton cord pieces stuffed togeth. with the wick in a tube
Can anyone help me? As far as I understand the cold blast hurricane lantern was only invented 4 years after the hot blast one, and we are looking at the 1860s to 1870s. Why would it be then that in every genuine WWII British film I see there are only hot blast lanterns featured? I've read that the hot blast tended to burn less kerosene than the cold blast but if the hot blast was less efficient that just meant you got even less light per unit of fuel used. Any ideas why they were all hot blast lights?
Well, I can't help on the exact invention dates, but I know that Feuerhand kept producing the 201 model throughout the war and abandoned plans to keep only a small cold blast model 175E, seems like the roadworkers did not want to fiddle with such small lamps. In Britain, maybe the same aplies, or they reused WW1 equiptment (like for example the machines for producing ancient lanterns) that was still there. If they are genuine in the films, I don't know. There's research by Dr.Bunk which states there is no proof of Feuerhand Stormlanterns being used at the front. www.bunk-online.de/Feuerhand.html I think you should ask your question to him.
Theres a new production of that size from china, in germany the Pearl shop sells them. Its thinner sheet metal but their cute and a resource of spare glasses.
