- In this video I light a lantern from the 1930s which has, as far as Im concerned, never been lit before. Its a rare occasion finding old lanterns in pristine condition that has never held a flame. Now its time to light this Feurhand no. 175 for the first time in 90 years.
The lanterns included in this video is the Feuerhand no. 175 Super Baby from the 1930´s and the Feuerhand no. 276 Baby Special from the early 2000´s.
The 175-series were manufactured from 1933-1945. It weighs 330 g and has a fount capacity of 175 cm3. The burning time is 14 hours per refill and it runs on any fuel that kerosene lanterns can use.
The 1930s lantern is all original, even the glass globe and, as far as I can see, the unburnt wick also. The glass globe is made by Schott & Jena which were the manufacturers of the glass globes during that time period.
More information on Feurhand lanterns can be found on their website www.feuerhand.de
In diesem video zünden wir zum ersten mal seit der herstellung in den 1930er jahren eine Feuerhand laterne an. Die laterne wurde noch nie angezündet und ist in einwandfreiem zustand. - Věda a technologie
Thank you for all the feedback on this video! I could not imagine that an old lantern could have such an impact. If you want to support me please leave a thumbs up or subscribe to the channel. Thank you 🔥😊
I see people saying don't use these indoors but it's fine if you use the correct fuel.
I found this video while researching vintage oil lanterns....This was a very special moment and I am so grateful that you shared it with me....I hope that other viewers get that same warm peaceful feeling that I did....Truly a Great video!
Hello i just received in the mail today a feuerhand 175 never used today it was $80 US dollars all original wick n globe can't wait to light it up my friend
Hi there mate! That´s great, I can only say that you have a very good lantern that will last you a lifetime! Thanks for sharing that with me. Take care and see you! 🌲🙂
I remember back in the early 50’s the lantern was our means of light when we went out at night I enjoy the lantern light so much I still have our lanterns from my childhood they’re in good working order
Thanks for sharing great video
Thank you for sharing that!
Beautifully presented! Thank you for sharing this nostalgic and unhurried moment with us!!
Thank you 😊
I have watched this video over a dozen times ! I too love Feuerhand lanterns. They are made with precision, and the smoothness of operation, the way they burn, all show that they are built and assembled with care. Thank you for this awesome video. To think of all of the things, good and bad, that have happened in the world since that lantern was built, to the time that you then lit it.......wow
Thank you for this great video !!
It was an awesome moment for sure :)
Very beautiful video, something very emotional within...and you made me remember that I have a similar kind of lamp sleeping in my garage for ages, the very same lamp I use to carry on my backpack during all my trekking expeditions in the wilderness back in the days with my now passed away beloved nephew... I took it out the dust, clean it and lit it forthe first timein 35 years... so, thank you very much for this great moment you shared with us. Greetings and love from Belgium
Hi my friend, thank you for sharing your story! I am very glad to hear that you could remember the good times :) Take care and I hope to see you next time! 🌲 :)
@@campsitesweden I'll be back :) and I subscribe mate
Very nice story and presentation.
I really enjoy these oil lanterns.
I have 3 feuerhand lanterns that are excellent 🔥
Stort tack för denna stämningsfulla video! Verkligen magiskt att få vara med vid tändandet av en så gammal Feuerhand! Har själv precis beställt en 276:a, och ser fram emot att använda den.
The absolute perfect size! I wonder why don't they make a model this size anymore? What a find! Wonderful video.
Yeah the size is really neat compared to the standard one. But I think this model is still in production. Have alook I guess you can find it online.
@@campsitesweden unfortunately not, they only do the larger 276. I have been looking at other brands and still haven't found one this size yet! cheers.
And to be honest the feuerhand 276 Baby Special is a small lantern. Just about the perfect size. I enjoy mine🔥
Yeah I think they stopped all models except the 276 in 1989, since then only make the 276.
Beautiful lantern and very nice video. Cheers from the US👍
Thanks! Its a great beautiful little lantern!
Beautiful flame shape, congratulations on your find and thank you for capturing this lighting for us to share in.
Hi there and thank you! Yes, I really like those lanterns :) Take care!
I am glad for you that you are enjoying this unique experience with your vintage lantern. Thank you for sharing it with us. U.S. Army, Ret. TX
Thank you so much for that! This lantern really is a true gem! Have a great day! /Jonas
I like the way your mind ticks.
I never realized the 175 was so tiny.
Great find!
Yeah it´s a fairly small lantern, perfect taking with you when hiking. Thanks for watching! :)
Excellent video, I have a new Feuerhand on the way that i plan to use in a cross-country moto camping trip. I believe this lantern and possibly the Dietz Comet are the best choices for a reliable light that can go anywhere. If i could only find a good #175 that wasnt $200 i would snatch one up in a second. I was so glad to watch this video because now i know that even if the #276 is a bit larger it will still last a life time
I just went for a week without power at home here in Texas due to a hurricane. I slept on my outside patio for that hot-weather week. I was so grateful for my 4 lanterns, as they burned all night, keeping animals away.
Thank you for sharing that story :) I think lanterns has two purposes, they provide light yes, but they can also be your friend in the dark. Take care :)
@@campsitesweden It's so easy to forget that up until a couple of centuries ago, throughout history the dark was truly black-dark and very frightening.
Nice! Also I am the lucky one who owns one 175 super baby. It is really cute little lantern. Unfortunately, they no longer make it in this size. Mine is not so well preserved, it is already without paint, but it has a story, as it has been with the house since the beginning.
Thats nice :)
when I was a child there were several lamps at home just like that, now I am 63 years old. greetings from Indonesia
Thank you for sharing that! :) 🔥🌲
I bought a Finnish army surplus lantern box today. Picked it up after work. As the seller opened the box my heart just jumped. It was a complete set of four Feuerhand 175s with two extra glass globes, four wicks, four deflectors (blocks the light so it only lights up only a narrow strip) and a two litre tin canister for fuel. Only one of the lanterns was slightly used.
Wow thats what I call a rare find! Im a bit addicted to those lanterns, its like a fire spirit there inside the glass globe 😊
@@campsitesweden I remember using these in the military. I like the small size of the 175 but now I think I might buy a couple bigger 276s too.
Man, that is an amazing score of vintage kerosene lanterns and accessories.
Excellent video. I have a red super baby 175 with a Jena glass globe.
Then you are as lucky as I am! No is the time to lit the lanterns during this dark part of the year. Thanks for watching /Jonas
Wow what a decision to make as to fire it up or not. There are those that would leave it unfired. But it was designed and built to be used , not to just look at. Thank you for sharing this with us
I’ve got a feuer hand 275 and like yours mine is a virgin.
I just lit and used my grandfather's feuerhand 275 we think it's 1940, probably first time used in 50 years. Was amazing seeing it at camp.
That sounds wonderful 🌲🔥
Thank you very much for your story
Hi there and thanks for watching, I really appreciate that! Take care :) 🔥
That was a great video. I have been thinking about using a lantern. Thank you for sharing that.
Yes, this one is very handy and the glow of the flame in the dark is so inviting 🌲👍
I have two feuerhands and a large deitz that I’m learning to use- learning simple bushcraft too🙏🏼
Nice video. Thanks for sharing.
Thanks for watching!
Thanks for sharing.
Thanks for watching! 🔥🌲
Greetings from BC, Canada. This is very interesting, I like the old technology of such things, I have a number of old Canadian Colman stoves going back to the 1940's. I grew up in England and remember these Paraffin (Kerosene) lamps on my grandfathers boat, we called them 'Hurricane Lamps'. Thanks you for taking time to tell this interesting story, WS
Great find. 👍🏼 Glad to see it being put to use too!
Hi there, yes it is. Thank you for watching and take care! 🌲🔥
I slammed down a cold beer when it fired up. Cheers!
Thanks for watching mate 🔥🌲
she is a beauty! ⚫🔴🟡
Я тоже хочу себе такую миниатюрную лампу ! Две больших у меня есть. Скажите ,ещё меньше вашей есть лампы ?
Almost a year you posted this emotional video, but I lost track of you because you changed your channel name (it was Automne Wonders or something)...but here I am :) I saw this video several times, and always with the same pleasure. Be well Friend
Yes for some reason this video did something to people watching. I really did not plan it very much it just turned up this way. Thanks again my friend for coming along!
That little lantern is so cute! I have just ordered a 276 but am not sure what fuel to use in it, what would best suit for indoor use, and do you get much smell from it?
Hi there, I have searched for kerosene that does not smell for my indoor lamps but havent found any. They still smell. But Im sure its possible to find but I cannot advice you on that. Good luck with your lantern!
@@campsitesweden Thank you! I bought some fuel today which has good reviews but have not yet tried it. Onyx Bricolage Liquide lampe a petrole.
@@campsitesweden possibly jet A 1....?
I think the parrafin wax is less for the high altitude cold
Every fuel that I have tried has some degree of odor.
I burn a lantern for a few hours every day. Aladdin lamp oil has become my fuel of choice 🔥
Nice and small, the Atom model even smaller than 175- A question though, are the caps for the fuel tank on 175 interchangeable with the 276?, it looks just as big in the video
Hm, dont know actually but I can check. I do believe thats the case.
Liked your video, but I have a question. If that lantern is as old as you say it is, why was the writing on it in English in the late 1930's?
The only english it has is that it is named "super baby". But thats a great question. I dont know the history behind the brand name. Maybe it was branded for the us market?
i found one 175 in a closet, in the house of my father in law, here in argentina. it has no glass. My father in law passed 1 years ago, it seems very old lamp. would be great to have it working again. do you know where can i find a glass replacement?. great video thank you!
You should be able to order a replacement glass from Feurhand, the German company behind this model.
Great. What fuel my friend?
Hi there, just ordinary lamp oil. Kerosene I guess, extra clean.
This is the most Swedish channel on CZcams.
Interesting, can you elaborate?
@@campsitesweden and there you go! The intense yet low key seriousness combined with a zen-like wonder and appreciation for every detail reminds me of everything I like about Sweden and the Swedes.
They are stamped Germany or West Germany for post war.
Ah didnt know about that, I have to check. Thanks! 🌲🔥
@@campsitesweden Every day is a school day,only found out myself recently.Great vids by the way,you really embrace the outdoors out there.The Feuerhand brand is quite distinctive and collectable,as I'm finding out to my cost;-)
Can you use paraffin oil in this lantern?
I dont knof actually, Ive never tried paraffin oil 🔥
Hi ,I want to this feuerhand 175, but I cannot buy this in China. So Sad!
Hello! Ah, yeah I guess they are more difficult to get your hands on but it should be possible to import from EU? There are plenty of new and vintage one fior sale here. Take care :)
What was criminal in the manufacture was not using brass or stainless steel. They always rusted to pieces and all you were left with was the glass.
The manufacturer could continue production they could use new glass technology as well.
Hi there I didn't know that. My lanterns do not rust, but let's see how this 1930's super baby stay together. No rust at the moment at least 😊
Thats a good quality 🔥😊🌲
А по русски?
You NEVER should use one indoors. They are meant for outdoors use ONLY.
Hi there, yes I agree with that :) Thanks for watching!
I burn one of my lanterns every day indoors. I choose which lantern and enjoy it 🔥
I burn Aladdin lamp oil
It's the most relaxing and enjoyable thing to have a lantern flame lighting the room.
