logo image International lantern manufacturers Q - S


The Rinnai Corp. in Japan made this lantern in the mid 1960's

as Western Field brand, Model EKW 9516A for Montgomery Wards (left)

and as Model 60-9516 with a green fount and red porcelain ventilator.

The pump handle has two parts at the end

that must be separated to lock it down,

as explained on a decal on the back of the fount.

The lantern on the right is in Thomas Kivler's collection.


Phoebus lantern models, # 611, left, and #615, right,

were manufactured by Metalwarenfabrik Josef Rosenthal in Vienna, Austria.

These lantern models have gold painted steel founts,

green enameled ventilators, and their original metal carrying cases.

Henry Plews owns the #611, which is a 200 cp? gasoline model;

Neil McRae owns the # 615, a gasoline/kerosene model.


Phoebus Model 621 is a gasoline fueled, 200 cp lantern (Neil McRae).
The red valve wheel (left) is only for the tip cleaner,
while the black valve wheel (right, opposite side)
is for instant lighting and running the lantern.


Phoebus Model 631 has a bail that has been modified with a long loop

that engages a post on the ventilator so that it can hang at an angle.

This feature minimizes the blockage of light on a subject.

This lantern is in Henry Plews's collection.


Phoebus Model 635, in Doron Papo's collection,

is a 300cp kerosene fueled lantern model.

Neil McRae notes this one is unusual

in having a Bakelite knob

and brass finish.

Phoebus made this lantern in collaboration with the Coleman Company.

It has the same parts as Coleman Model 242

except for the collar stamping (lower image)

with lighting instructions in German on the other side.

This lantern is in Agtas Tahsin's collection.

Please contact me if you have information on Phoebus-Coleman.


Neil also owns this Model 665 Phoebus lantern,

a 500 cp kerosene model,

which is seen in operation in this image.

To replace the gasket on the filler cap

he had to unsolder the filler cap from the pump tube

and resolder it after replacing the gasket!


This Santrax lantern, Model 829,

was made by Santromax Ltd., Hong Kong,

and is chrome-on-steel construction.

It is another 500 cp version in the Petromax genre.

This one is in new condition

and is in Brien Page's collection.


These Model 551LD lanterns were made by Eugene Schatz Zuger Lampen, Zug, Switzerland.

This post WWII model appears to be a variation of the Hasag model 551,

the variation being the alcohol cup seen to the left of the globe base (left image).

The lantern on the left is in Herman Mulder's collection,

while the lantern on the right, shown hanging for hospital use by chains

and with a lens to focus the light, is in Henry Plews's collection.

This Maxim Liliput kerosene or gasoline fueled lantern is

badged Eugen Schatz, Hasaglicht, Zug, (Schweiz).

The upper portion is Model 21 (Maxim) with a Liliput fount (Neil McRae).

There is a pressure relief valve in the middle of the fount near the top.

The alcohol preheater cup (not visible) is molded into the frame base plate.

This lantern is in Roland Dworschak's collection.

This Model 34A lantern is also badged Eugen Schatz, Hasaglicht, Zug, (Schweiz),

and is in Ruedi Fischer's collection.

The ventilator is held by a bayonet mount.

The globe has a lighting hole.

This lantern includes a manometer (left image).

Another lantern badged by Eugen Schatz, Hasaglicht, Zug, (Schweiz),

this Model 5144A can be run with either kerosene or gasoline producing 300 cp.

This lantern, in Ruedi Fischer's collection, has 3 rollers on the bottom of the fount

so it could be used by brick masons working on the inside of large baking ovens -

the lantern can be moved by gently pushing with a foot so as not to be in the way.

Eugen Schatz, Zug, (Schweiz)

also made this Hasaglicht, Model 151A gasoline fueled lantern.

The extra large fount would be useful in places such as poultry houses

where the light must be on for a long time.

The ventilator on this lantern, in Ruedi Fischer's collection,

is from another lantern.

Snow Peak, a Japanese company, makes this Giga Power WG lantern

that runs on white gas and is rated at 240 watts.

This lantern, in Ernst Frei's collection,

has the pump built into the fuel bottle.

The start-run lever is above the pump

and the wire lever in the collar controls the low-high light output.

Summit, a company in The Netherlands,

made this Model 266 lantern in the Petromax style,

perhaps in the 1930's (McRae).

The lantern, in Jan Merkestein's collection,

has been repaired with parts from Asian lanterns.

Please contact me if you have one of these models.


Neil McRae found this lantern in England.

It bears some resemblance to German made

BAT and Hasag lanterns he has in his collection.

The logo in the base (right image) is a complete mystery.

Please contact me if you can help him identify it.
