    Hello,

    here is my latest project. A French Lantern "Intens".
    Is there information about this lamp?
    There are components that recall Hirschhorn AIDA 214th

    Best regards 1455447147-IMG_1338.jpg 1455447169-IMG_1339.jpg 1455447190-IMG_1340.jpg 1455447213-IMG_1344.jpg

    Wow what a lamp Andreas. Congratulations :D/
    First thing I thought was Lilor 5080 but handles and hood plus the way the lot is placed was wrong.
    This might help you further:

    Intens lamp from Réchaud à gaz de pétrole Etna et lampe Tanit. (Société Intens).

    Lucky you :thumbup: thanks for sharing.

    Nice catch Andreas :thumbup:, congrats!
    You can find this lantern in a 1928 Intens catalogue!

    Very fine lamp indeed!
    But, when read in English, the name "Intens Colon" does sound a bit odd... :lol:

    Nice catch
    I think colon is for "colonie" in french
    French colonies in 1928 were indochine, new caledonia, la réunion, and so one

    Yes, and quite a few on the African continent too. All unfortunately too far away from Cape Town for me to have much hope of finding such a lamp here :(
