I love my Great Britian Manufactured Model 99. Perfect for everyday sewing and patchwork. My Mom had the same model only it was a knee (electric ) treadle instead of a foot pedal. My Grandmother purchased it for her in the 50's for her growing family.

I have a small collection of Feurehand lanterns myself. they are really well made and designed to last. I have 1930's vintage 323 hot blast lantern. next is my little 175 which is pre WW2. then I have 2 276 'Sturmkappe' versions, with the extra large fount that gives up to 72 hours burn time from a tank of kerosene. plus I have late model 275, which is the only model they make now. your little 175 is a post WW2 version from the look of it, and the easiest way to tell where it was made is to look at the tank and the glass.if the tank is stamped 'Made in Germany', then it will be pre WW2. but if it is stamped 'Made in W. Germany' or "West Germany' then it is post WW2 after East and West Germany split after WW2. either way, it doesnt matter, any of the earlier Feuerehand lanterns are going for stupid prices lately. but like you, I was lucky when I bought my little 175, I picked it up at a secondhand market where I live in Australia and only paid $15 for it, so a good bargain.

Nice, I love the hot blast. My understanding is that they were produced before the cold blast and therefore in general more valuable to a collector.

Not sure I follow you as Hong Kong has been part of China since 1997. They are inferior to the vintage ‘made in the USA’ Dietz lanterns. I have the vintage ones and Hong Kong ones. The biggest failure point on the Hong Kongs are the tank seams. Highly recommend anyone purchasing them apply a good tank sealer before adding fuel. And don’t be shy from using diesel fuel or least having that as an emergency reliable fuel supply.

W.T. Kirkman, not W.D. Kirkman...you used a "D" early on the video. Currently their house brand is also made in China. I really like the Air Pilot, Blizzard, and the Dietz Original #76 Galvanized is truly an outstanding smaller lantern. Citronella oil indoors is a very unpleasant experience. My preferred fuel is good old undyed Kerosene.

That would be right. the easy way to date them is looking at where they were made. if its stamped 'Germany' or 'Made In Germany', then its will be pre WW2. anything stamped 'W Germany ' or 'Made In W. Germany' is post WW2 production.

Just watched this 2-year-old video last night and was sold on W.T. Kirkman. Left a message with them this morning and just now got a phone call from the company. Not just anyone, but W.T. himself called me! I can echo your comments: so polite, and willing to answer my questions. He confirmed they are still working on getting the equipment to start making #2 again! Logged back into their website and now, 2 of the No. 1 "Little Champ"s are on the way! (Note: they now include a free red, blue or green annealed globe for FREE (this is in addition to the clear one already included). Thanks for your informative video!

Feuerhand offers these lanterns in gobs of colors. I bought the sparkling iron color and love it. They're bright lanterns for their size. I use soy based (Firefly) oil in mine to keep it burning clean as a whistle without the smoke and soot. We keep the lantern in our cabin and that Firefly oil also won't freeze.

Its easy to date when it was made. if it says 'Germany' or 'made in Germany', it will be either pre WW2, or made during the war years. anything stamped 'West Germany' or 'Made in W Germany' will be post WW2 after the East and West split. it doesnt really matter anyway, as they will still be the same high quality as you can buy today.
