This Handi Kero-Pet lantern, Model-3 was made

by the Handi Works Pty. Ltd. in Australia.

It has a nickel plated brass fount and black porcelain enamel ventilator.

Both the base rest and frame are steel

while the burner assembly and air intake tube are brass.

The curved glass globe, from Scotland, is marked "HANDI PYREX."

This lantern is in Shinzo Kono's collection.

The Heinze company, Wuppertal, Germany, had this "Petromax style" 829B

lantern manufactured in the Hipolito plant in Portugal.
Jürgen Breidenstein, whose collection this is in,

dates this new-old-stock Geniol brand lantern from the late 1970's to early 1980's.
Jürgen believes it was later badged for the U.S. Army from the German Army's stock.

It has a matte finish and is marked Nur für Petroleum, or "Only for kerosene."

This Geniol 150cp lantern is finished in polished brass

and includes the optional 2103 green enameled shade.

Werner Löw, whose collection this is in,

dates this lantern to the 1970's -80's.

The lantern is kerosene fueled and has a rapid preheater.


Hipolito Models H-301 (left) unfired with the accessories

and H-502 (right) were manufactured by Casa Hipolito SARL in Torres Vedras, Portugal.

Model H-301, in Pablo Vega's collection, is 350 cp and has an alcohol preheating cup;

it is comparable to Petromax Model 826 (McRae).

Model H-502 is 500 cp and has a rapid preheater; it is comparable to Petromax Model 829.

Casa Hipolito probably also made this Fama brand D-506

lantern seen here with the rapid start working to preheat the generator.

The instruction sheet that Pablo Vega got with this lantern

lists four rapid start models: D-106 (150 cp),

D-206 (250 cp), D-306 (350 cp), and D-506 (500 cp).

Casa Hipolito made this Model H 202

lantern which is also badged Force 10, P250K, and Made in Portugal.

The construction appears to be the same

as the Fama brand D-506 lantern above.

This 250 cp kerosene fueled lantern with a rapid preheater

is in Peter Wightman's collection.


Hovic Verk in Norway made this Primus Model 1082

under license and apparently did not sell these products outside of Norway,

according to Neil McRae, the owner of this lantern.

This model burns kerosene, is preheated with an alcohol cup,

and is rated at 300cp.


These are older (left) and newer (right) versions of Model 102 Standard lantern

made by Hovic Verk in Norway.

Note differences in the generators, frame base plates, and collars.
While this model superficially resembles Primus models

it has several unique features so it is not just rebadged.

These lanterns are in Harald Hogseth's collection.

These 350 cp (left) and 500 cp (right) kerosene fueled lanterns

were made by the Kwong Ming Factory, Peoples Republic of China

and sold under the Light Brand.

The 350 cp lantern has the rapid start preheater

while the 500 cp has the alcohol preheat only.

These lanterns are in George Burl's collection.

This unknown lantern model was made by the Lampart company,

Budapest, Hungary, perhaps in the 1930's.

The Lampart logo, an embossed sun and three stars,

appears on the pump handle.

It has a straight generator and alcohol preheater cup.

This lantern is in Ruedi Fischer's collection.

(new image on the left) Translation of the Chinese on the shade and fount of this lantern
suggests that the lantern was made in the '30's by a Chinese Co.

for Molese & Co. of Germany.

Originally the brass lantern was covered with a protective? black material.

The globe supports have rusted through and no longer connect to the globe base.

C.S. Pochee & Sons, an Indian company, possibly made this Model 213 lantern

in the 1930's based on the general style and parts (McRae).

The pressure gauge is stamped Made in Germany;

the valve wheel and filler cap are replacements.

The lantern is a 300 or 500 cp kerosene model

with an alcohol preheater.

C.S. Pochee & Sons, also made this Model 231 lantern.

This model is stamped 300 cp on the fount,

and appears in its working parts to be a very similar

but a newer version of the lantern above.

The manometer and top of the ventilator on this lantern,

in Clive Appleton's collection, are both stamped Pochee.


The Powerlight Co., Winnipeg, Canada, made this Match-O-Lite brand lantern circa 1920.

The fount and, I believe, valve stem assembly

were made for Powerlight by Nagel-Chase Mfg., Chicago.

The burner was patented by Powerlight.

The once chrome plated steel frame base plate/collar and ventilator have been painted.

The globe is a reproduction from Fred Kuntz.


The Indo International Division of Prabhat Udyog Limited, Mumbai, India

manufactures several "petromax style" lantern models under the Prabhat Brand.

This Model 425, in Doron Papo's collection, is a 300 cp kerosene model.

This lantern has a red plastic sleeve on the bail,

a feature that is found on some of the other models from India.
