Degea

This is an German Degea lantern found here in the Netherlands on an auctionsite. The lantern was in a good condition. The glass is not original, and I guess not heat resistant.
It can run on gasoline or kerosene. I tried both, but I got the best results with gasoline.
The original needle was broken, it is replaced by a Hasag needle.

A grand old lantern and a very lucky find!

 

Thank you, @Johan Osinga.


Is the lantern stamped “Made in Germany” under the tank?


Tony

 

Yes it is, and only " Degea" on the top of the tank

 

A good looking lantern and excellent reference, congratulations

 

I was already thinking you had been very busy with lots of lanterns but now this one i’ve never heard of??

Looks very well made??
Thanks Johan !

Great detail

 

Sometimes it makes sense to rummage through the CPL's own archives!

Hi Tony,

from the CPL catalogue No. 99:

Kind regards
Jörg

 

Thanks, Jörg.

That’s why I asked the question: I was checking if this lamp matched the PLC description in that feature.

Cheers

Tony
