HASAG 355L

Hi fellas I bought a Hasag 335L lantern from a collector. It arrived in good order well packed, it’s a cool lantern I have read up on it in the gallery forums. It’s original has the patina and dirt dust , it didn’t take much to get going, fresh kerosene, new mantle and away it went. Original globe I think it has a pilot hole. Thought I’d share enjoy fellas.

 

Interesting to compare with the BAT equivalent.

 

@presscall , I’ve looked at some of the other makes and there seems to be a similarity of parts looking the same, I think maybe back in the day they all did deals on parts made and sold under different names. I guess maybe in that part of the world the east and west still traded commodities, either way to have such a grand table lamp like this would have took pride of place on the main table,

 

@Darryl Durdin Yes indeed Darryl.

 

This is a Hasag 355 L.
A jewel in every pressure lamp collection.
The Experte in Germany do not agree on the manufacturing period.

 

A very lucky find.

 

Hi @Darryl Durdin this is a fine lamp, and it seems to go well.
From my opinion it is from the pre-war era, as I assume from its features. Only the glass cylinder is a replacement manufactured by Rasotherm in GDR (German Democratic Republic / East Germany, before 1989).

That one seems more to be based on the 242 (200 CP) rather than on the 351, thus the different look and the designation 248. There was also a 246 available back then, but I don't exactly know the differences.
The 242 is somehow the equivalent to the Petromax 821, whereas the 252 is the equivalent to the Petromax 826. Many of the parts are compatible between these "sisters".

 

@Darryl Durdin

Did you pick that up in Australia?

I have a few Hasags found in Australia, but not that one.


Cheers

Darryl, it's a nice addition to your collection. Congratulations.

 

I bought it from a collection in Germany. Import

 

Very nice catch Darryl - certainly not "run of the mill" - I look forward to the shower room shot, and of course next year's show and tell exhibition

 

I would like to point out for the second time that it is a Hasag 355 L.
There is no 335 L.

 

Very cool lamp Darryl and thank you for sharing, i love the original patina with the label.
These lamps do stand out in ones collection as rather nice.
They don't seem to travel far from central Europe without the assistance of a devoted collector.
With absolutely no evidence to back it up my opinion is that all these 355 lamps date from the 1930's steel / brass tanks, fibre / bakelite wheels the lot.
Enjoy your great find

 

Ps, is that lantern lurking on the desk a nulite? It looks very pretty.

 

@Reinhard , you are correct, it’s my little fat fingers and lack of attention to what the heading is ment to say , wish I could change it.

 

@James K
It is a nulite M2 ?. It’s as received I have another very similar,the one on the left?. The M2 on the right
Any idea

 

Left is Nulite Storm King. Right is Nulite 2M from the 1920s. ::Neil::

 

@Mackburner thank you for ID on the lanterns.

 

The left one, the Stormking, may say on the centre disc: Summit Made in Holland.

 

I’ll be checking it out
@WimVe , love the old lanterns

 

Very good!
Title amended accordingly.
