EGLOFF & CIE 'HELVETIA' BUNKER LAMP WITH RARE DOCTORS GREEN GLOBE
SWISS BUNKER AND HELVITIA KEROSENE LANTERN WITH RARE GREEN GLOBE
HELVETIA KEROSENE LANTERN WITH DOCTORS GLOBE

The significance of this very rare Green Helvetia globe is that only a certain amount was produced during WW 2 for use by the Doctors during the Swiss National Redoubt.  This lantern would have been hung outside of a bunker to indicate that a Doctor was present.

 

It has taken years to find this lantern and only due to the incredible kindness and generosity of Jörg Matt, who lives in Switzerland, was I able to finally add this to my collection.
