Rare German Hurricane Lantern – Mammut by Lohmann & Ruhland (Circa 1910)

Add an extraordinary and historically significant piece to your collection with this rare Mammut hurricane lantern, manufactured by Lohmann & Ruhland, Düsseldorf around 1910. This imposing lantern stands out for its size and its original glass, marked with:
Mammut Werke MBH.

The lantern also retains its original plate, though most of the text is faded. While not all parts are original, this piece remains highly collectible and functional:

• The protective cage is a replacement and slightly undersized, meaning the glass-lift mechanism only works when the cage is removed.
• The wick cap is also a replacement (likely originally brass).
• Minor imperfections: signs of age on the top, one glass-lift guide partially detached, and a dent in the air tube.

Despite these details, this is a very rare hurricane lantern that still works perfectly and makes a stunning addition to any collection or as authentic vintage lighting for home, garden, or camping.
