I found this video while researching vintage oil lanterns....This was a very special moment and I am so grateful that you shared it with me....I hope that other viewers get that same warm peaceful feeling that I did....Truly a Great video!
Hello i just received in the mail today a feuerhand 175 never used today it was $80 US dollars all original wick n globe can't wait to light it up my friend
Hi there mate! That´s great, I can only say that you have a very good lantern that will last you a lifetime! Thanks for sharing that with me. Take care and see you! 🌲🙂
Very beautiful video, something very emotional within...and you made me remember that I have a similar kind of lamp sleeping in my garage for ages, the very same lamp I use to carry on my backpack during all my trekking expeditions in the wilderness back in the days with my now passed away beloved nephew... I took it out the dust, clean it and lit it forthe first timein 35 years... so, thank you very much for this great moment you shared with us. Greetings and love from Belgium
Hi my friend, thank you for sharing your story! I am very glad to hear that you could remember the good times :) Take care and I hope to see you next time! 🌲 :)
I remember back in the early 50’s the lantern was our means of light when we went out at night I enjoy the lantern light so much I still have our lanterns from my childhood they’re in good working order Thanks for sharing great video
I have watched this video over a dozen times ! I too love Feuerhand lanterns. They are made with precision, and the smoothness of operation, the way they burn, all show that they are built and assembled with care. Thank you for this awesome video. To think of all of the things, good and bad, that have happened in the world since that lantern was built, to the time that you then lit it.......wow Thank you for this great video !!
Stort tack för denna stämningsfulla video! Verkligen magiskt att få vara med vid tändandet av en så gammal Feuerhand! Har själv precis beställt en 276:a, och ser fram emot att använda den.
@@campsitesweden unfortunately not, they only do the larger 276. I have been looking at other brands and still haven't found one this size yet! cheers.
Excellent video, I have a new Feuerhand on the way that i plan to use in a cross-country moto camping trip. I believe this lantern and possibly the Dietz Comet are the best choices for a reliable light that can go anywhere. If i could only find a good #175 that wasnt $200 i would snatch one up in a second. I was so glad to watch this video because now i know that even if the #276 is a bit larger it will still last a life time
Nice! Also I am the lucky one who owns one 175 super baby. It is really cute little lantern. Unfortunately, they no longer make it in this size. Mine is not so well preserved, it is already without paint, but it has a story, as it has been with the house since the beginning.
I just went for a week without power at home here in Texas due to a hurricane. I slept on my outside patio for that hot-weather week. I was so grateful for my 4 lanterns, as they burned all night, keeping animals away.
Thank you for sharing that story :) I think lanterns has two purposes, they provide light yes, but they can also be your friend in the dark. Take care :)
@@campsitesweden It's so easy to forget that up until a couple of centuries ago, throughout history the dark was truly black-dark and very frightening.
Wow what a decision to make as to fire it up or not. There are those that would leave it unfired. But it was designed and built to be used , not to just look at. Thank you for sharing this with us
I bought a Finnish army surplus lantern box today. Picked it up after work. As the seller opened the box my heart just jumped. It was a complete set of four Feuerhand 175s with two extra glass globes, four wicks, four deflectors (blocks the light so it only lights up only a narrow strip) and a two litre tin canister for fuel. Only one of the lanterns was slightly used.
Greetings from BC, Canada. This is very interesting, I like the old technology of such things, I have a number of old Canadian Colman stoves going back to the 1940's. I grew up in England and remember these Paraffin (Kerosene) lamps on my grandfathers boat, we called them 'Hurricane Lamps'. Thanks you for taking time to tell this interesting story, WS
That little lantern is so cute! I have just ordered a 276 but am not sure what fuel to use in it, what would best suit for indoor use, and do you get much smell from it?
Hi there, I have searched for kerosene that does not smell for my indoor lamps but havent found any. They still smell. But Im sure its possible to find but I cannot advice you on that. Good luck with your lantern!
Nice and small, the Atom model even smaller than 175- A question though, are the caps for the fuel tank on 175 interchangeable with the 276?, it looks just as big in the video
Almost a year you posted this emotional video, but I lost track of you because you changed your channel name (it was Automne Wonders or something)...but here I am :) I saw this video several times, and always with the same pleasure. Be well Friend
Yes for some reason this video did something to people watching. I really did not plan it very much it just turned up this way. Thanks again my friend for coming along!
i found one 175 in a closet, in the house of my father in law, here in argentina. it has no glass. My father in law passed 1 years ago, it seems very old lamp. would be great to have it working again. do you know where can i find a glass replacement?. great video thank you!
The only english it has is that it is named "super baby". But thats a great question. I dont know the history behind the brand name. Maybe it was branded for the us market?
@@campsitesweden Every day is a school day,only found out myself recently.Great vids by the way,you really embrace the outdoors out there.The Feuerhand brand is quite distinctive and collectable,as I'm finding out to my cost;-)
@@campsitesweden and there you go! The intense yet low key seriousness combined with a zen-like wonder and appreciation for every detail reminds me of everything I like about Sweden and the Swedes.
Hello! Ah, yeah I guess they are more difficult to get your hands on but it should be possible to import from EU? There are plenty of new and vintage one fior sale here. Take care :)
What was criminal in the manufacture was not using brass or stainless steel. They always rusted to pieces and all you were left with was the glass. The manufacturer could continue production they could use new glass technology as well.
I burn one of my lanterns every day indoors. I choose which lantern and enjoy it 🔥 I burn Aladdin lamp oil It's the most relaxing and enjoyable thing to have a lantern flame lighting the room.
