Its roots date to \u003cstrong\u003e1863\u003c\/strong\u003e, when Hugo Schneider became involved in a small business producing lamps and metal goods. Schneider took full ownership in 1871, and in 1899 the company was reorganized as Hugo Schneider AG — HASAG. Lamp and burner manufacturing became an important part of the company's early growth, with its products eventually sold internationally. \u003cspan class=\"contents\"\u003e\u003cspan class=\"\"\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eHASAG's later history is considerably darker. During the 1930s and Second World War, the company became heavily involved in German armaments production and operated factories that made extensive use of forced and concentration-camp labour. That history is an important part of accurately describing surviving HASAG artifacts rather than treating the name simply as an old lantern brand. \u003cspan class=\"contents\"\u003e\u003cspan class=\"\"\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eHASAG's lantern business also changed considerably during the 1930s. The company acquired lantern-related equipment, brands and patents from other German manufacturers and continued producing several styles of kerosene lanterns. Collector research indicates that HASAG's production of conventional storm lanterns largely ended by \u003cstrong\u003e1939 as the company increasingly concentrated on military production\u003c\/strong\u003e. \u003cspan class=\"contents\"\u003e\u003cspan class=\"\"\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThat makes surviving examples such as this \u003cstrong\u003eNo. 651\u003c\/strong\u003e an interesting piece of pre-war German lighting and industrial history.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eDetails\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eManufacturer: \u003cstrong\u003eHASAG – Hugo Schneider AG\u003c\/strong\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eModel: \u003cstrong\u003eNo. 651\u003c\/strong\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eOrigin: Germany\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eType: Dead-flame kerosene \/ oil hurricane lantern\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMetal construction\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eClear glass globe\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWire globe guard\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFolding carrying handle\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eVented chimney\/top\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWick-type burner assembly\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eEmbossed HASAG trademark on fuel tank\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eApproximate era: \u003cstrong\u003e1930s \/ pre-WWII\u003c\/strong\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAttractive original aged surface and patina\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eExcellent farmhouse, cabin, industrial or lighting collection piece\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eCondition\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eGood \u003cstrong\u003eantique, unrestored condition\u003c\/strong\u003e with substantial age-related patina\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe burner and internal components are present, but \u003cstrong\u003ethe lantern has not been tested for operation\u003c\/strong\u003e, so it is being sold as a collectible\/decorative antique rather than as a guaranteed working light.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePlease review all photographs carefully as they form part of the condition description.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003ePickup and Shipping Information\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eLocal pickup available in \u003cstrong\u003ePacific Heights, Saskatoon, SK\u003c\/strong\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA $1 shipping deposit is charged at checkout and applied toward your final shipping cost, calculated after your item is carefully packed.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eJay’s Mercantile\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eRecycling the past, one item at a time.\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Jay's Mercantile","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45714376261718,"sku":"JM 563","price":150.0,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0733\/5759\/0614\/files\/20260907_131512.jpg?v=1788812570","url":"https:\/\/jaysmercantile.ca\/products\/antique-german-hasag-no-651-kerosene-hurricane-lantern-hugo-schneider-ag-leipzig","provider":"Jay's Mercantile","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
