WW2 German Carbide Lantern complete!

Any ideas where to find a date on this item? I also wan't to know the going price for a 97% intact Carbide lantern with hook all original.

That is a neat piece.

I've seen them in the 100 - 200 range ( this is a nice complete unit BTW )
good to see!!

Danmark, I have seen quite a few on Ebay in horrible condition from anywhere between $300-$640 not being complete and damaged. So I am curious to see how much this one would run for.

I don't doubt you have seen them for those prices mate but did they sell for that price? I know of one on a sellers site ( complete but not as nice as yours ) for 125 euros and it has been on there for 2 years that I know about with no takers so far. Just one of those things that there is not a huge call for, nice though it is.

Hmm. I have seen a few go on ebay for $600. But you know how dumb Ebayers are at times lol.

Maybe so but it only takes 2 determined bidders to drive up a price into the stratosphere.... ebay auctions can skew values too easily IMO.
