Continental 3715/Benzine/Gasoline

I recently got this Continental 3715 from 1930’ies - If my guesstimate is right.
This particulary version seems rare as I have only been able to find the 3715/A (Rapid starter).
It works fine. Was quite easy to fettle although it took a bit of elbow grease to get all the old dust & dirt off it.
I am a bit sensible over the original globe - so if anybody would have a spare globe around 104mm wide/108 mm tall, I’d be ver happy to buy or trade for it. Thanks to @Erik Leger for being able to draw on his ekspertise here.

 

Wow, that's a very unusual lantern.

I'd love to see it lit up.

That is a great rare lantern !
Congratulations.

 

A lucky find!

 

Thank you all

 

Hello Harder,

As I wrote recently, this is a really beautiful and well-preserved lantern!

I heard some time ago that Continental lanterns for German-speaking countries were marked “Pionier” and lanterns for export were marked “Pioneer.” Is there any evidence of this? Perhaps someone can comment on this?



Unfortunately, I can no longer find the photo showing the different markings...

 

Thanks for adding the photo.
It looks lit up beautifully!

It's great to see such a rare lantern lit up.

 

Very beautiful and interesting lanterns these Continental Licht.
Both the 3715 and 3715/A as well as other models. I'm particularly intrigue by the rapid design in some of these.
Not sure if the following patent describes which one of those:-
