Vintage Camping Lantern – Qwiklite Quartz Ignition, Instant Start Emergency Ligh

Vintage 1970s Qwiklite butane lantern with a simple, elegant design and rugged, hi-impact styrene construction. It has instant, no-pump starting with a quartz ignition and an adjustable flame — a clever piece of mid-century camping engineering. The handle swivels up for carrying or hanging and folds neatly back into the base when not in use. The globe is made of Schott Supraxx glass from West Germany, and the body was made in Italy, giving it that classic European outdoor-gear feel. It’s in excellent vintage condition overall. The original mantle show in the photo (fabric mesh piece) turned to dust when touched (very typical for a lantern of this age), so it will need a replacement mantle and butane cartridge before lighting — both inexpensive and easy to find. Measurements (lantern only): 11" tall • 4.5" diameter base Weight: 28 oz Condition notes: excellent cosmetic condition, needs new mantle, no butane included. 1970s camping gear, vintage butane lantern, Qwiklite lantern, quartz ignition, Schott Supraxx glass, made in Italy, West Germany glass globe, cabin decor, retro camping lantern PLEASE NOTE: The mantle shown in the photo does not come with purchase! 📸 Colors may vary slightly from photos. 🚭 From a smoke-free home with a hypoallergenic Mini Poodle. 🌎 Providing unique and/or quality items for those interested in sustainable shopping. ♻️ recycled + minimal packaging when possible.
