If you find yourself on this page, it is because you are thirsty for more information on the lanterns you already own or would like to own. When I first began collecting German lanterns, I was satisfied for a short time just knowing who manufactured the lantern and the correct model number. That was short lived.

 

In my own researching, I came up against a ‘virtual wall’; meaning using ‘google’ as my main resource was either not relevant or in-depth. Many times, I could not even come up with a valid search result. Fortunately, I was blessed with making contact with an extraordinary group of experienced and knowledgeable collectors from Germany, The Netherlands, Switzerland the USA.

 

The links below were made possible by their generosity and assistance, with a very special thank you to Jörg Wekenmann who assisted me in compiling the majority of this list. Most of the links are primary resources that are comprehensive and authoritative. The rest of the links will bring you to various personal lantern collectors’ websites. These links will be ‘eye candy’ for all of you lantern seekers. Certain links/websites are in German or Dutch.

 

In the event you do not read or speak German, you can utilize Google Web Page Translate:

Do you have a relevant website that you would like to submit? Please use the contact page with details.

I will be adding more resource information to this page as it becomes available.

    Helló Bandi, használhatja a fő kapcsolattartási űrlapot, hogy közvetlenül kommunikálhassunk. Durva érték a piac és a vevő függvényében az 50,00 - 90,00 tartományban lenne.

    Hi there,

    I have googled extensively on world war 2 Baby Feuerhand Sturmlaternen model 276, 1943.

    I am am getting nowhere in finding what would be stamped on the lantern top bottom underneath - what identifies it.

    I am talking specifically about Carl Hermann Neir's factory.

    I am writing a novel and the lantern plays a role in a modern day puzzle that dates back to WW2.

    I might have my wires mixed, but...

    I need to be specific as to the accuracy of what I write.

    Are you able to help?

    Cheers,

    Makk

    Hi, I actually haven't thought of doing a book just on restoration, but now you have me thinking. I will definitely put thought into that. I have access to a wealth of information on restoration with my colleagues and then of course, my own personal experience. If it were to help someone, it would all be worth it. Thank you for your kind words.

    Uhh just a thought here but have you considered writing a e-book on lantern restoration?
    I have been looking for a book but have yet to find one, I feel that you have some valuable information that would benefit not only myself who quite recently have become very interested in restoration work but others as well. Maybe something to think about.☺
