Original German WWII Candle Field Lantern by F.F.A. Schulze, Berlin

Item Description

Original Item. Only One Available. This is a very interesting tan-painted candle-burning lantern with a maker’s mark of F.F.A. inside of a large S for F.F.A. Schulze, Berlin, a well-known maker of Carbide and other types of lanterns of the period. This is the first example of this candle-burning type that we’ve come across, making this a scarce example.

The lantern measures roughly 14” tall without the handle extended, and twists off at the bottom to allow for the candle to be changed. A hinge on top allows the top to bend over so the candle may be lit, and a pin locks it closed once that is done. The tube on the interior has a spring that raises the candle as it burns. The maker marking is under the opening hinge. Paint color may indicate Afrikakorps use but we have no evidence to back this up. The lantern is in good shape overall without any extensive damage. No candle is left inside but this could certainly still be used.

A great example of a scarce WWII German lantern ready for further research and display.
