Rare Vintage Feuerhand 252 Hurricane Lantern with Marked 252 Glass – Post-War German Oil Lantern

Rare vintage Feuerhand 252 hurricane lantern in beautiful vintage condition, fitted with its original marked glass globe in usable condition.

A particularly interesting detail of this example is the smaller tank lettering compared to most other Feuerhand 252 models. The glass globe is also specially marked with the “252” designation, a feature not commonly encountered.

The Feuerhand 252 model is much less common than the better-known 201 or 305 lanterns and was most likely produced mainly for export markets. This example dates from post-war production, approximately between 1955 and 1965.

Naturally, the lantern shows signs of age and use, adding to its authentic vintage character and industrial charm.

A wonderful addition to any antique lantern or Feuerhand collection, while also remaining perfectly functional as atmospheric lighting for the home, garden, camping, or holiday use.
