AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
Set of 4 vintage oil lanterns – 3 Made in Germany + 1 Made in China.
Description
Set of four vintage oil lanterns made of enameled metal, produced between the mid-20th century and the end of the 20th century.
Three lanterns are original Made in Germany, as visible from the embossed markings on the hat and tank (see photo). These models are typical of camping lanterns, railway, and German emergency lighting, appreciated for their robustness and build quality.
The fourth lantern, larger in size, is Made in China and is a subsequent version, provided as a complete structure but without the burner assembly.
One of the German lanterns has been converted into an electric version, as shown by the cable and plug. This modification makes it particularly interesting as an industrial-style decorative lamp.
The tile features a highly decorative combination of green and yellow colors, ideal for industrial, vintage, and retro furnishings.

Lot of 4 vintage kerosene lanterns – 3 Made in Germany + 1 Made in China
Description
Lot of four vintage kerosene lanterns made of enameled metal, dating from the mid 20th century to the late 20th century.
Three lanterns are clearly marked “Made in Germany,” as visible on the embossed markings on the top and base (see photos). These are classic German camping, railway, and emergency lanterns, known for their solid construction and durability.
The fourth lantern, larger in size, is marked 'Made in China' and is a later version, supplied as a complete frame but without burner.
One of the German lanterns has been converted into an electric lamp, as shown by the cable and plug, making it particularly attractive as an industrial decorative light.
The combination of green and yellow finishes makes this set very decorative and suitable for industrial, vintage, and retro interiors.
