What IS an Authentic Petromax Lantern? by Darryl Hassell

What is a Genuine Petromax Lantern and do Luxury Hotels Use Them?

A Petromax lantern is a type of lantern that uses a kerosene or paraffin lamp as a light source. They are typically made of metal, and have a hinged door that allows the lamp to be replaced. Luxury hotels often use Petromax lanterns as a source of light. They are a classic and elegant option, and provide a warm and inviting atmosphere.They are considered to be a high-quality, durable option that provides a warm, inviting atmosphere.

Location : USA I recently purchased a Petromax Britelyt 500cp from a US firm. I made my purchase after briefly researching the history of the Petromax. At the time of my purchase, I was convinced my Petromax was descended directly from the original German manufacturers. Now, I'm not so sure.

Since my purchase, I've noted there are several US distributors selling Petromax style lanterns. Some of these lanterns (possibly Heinze & Co.) have "Petromax" and "Germany" stamped into the fuel tank/fount and are reportedly assembled of both German and Chinese parts in China. Other lanterns offered as Petromax are made of nickel plated brass, but lack the stamping in the fuel tank (my lantern). Some are reportedly made by Santromax. All claim their parts are interchangeable.

What lanterns made today are "Genuine Petromax" with links to the original German manufacturers?

What Far Eastern companies are making and assembling these Petromax lanterns?
