What a strang looking lantern!! When I look at this, I feel that it should actually be a Seattle-style radio tower - and there should be little people inside it walking around!

I take it this is Germany's version of the Giant Post Top.... especially with EIGHT lamps inside!

LOL  sadly I have never seen it lit. You can imagine how  rare these lanterns are now.
Its new version which is still today available (Siteco Sistellar Maxi) has still 6 lamps !
In the sixtys in Germany was been many very big post tops to see. ( From HQL, SOX, Xenon and FT ). I will show some more rarities here. Maybe in the UK was been similar ones (?)

well I don't know if anybody else here has, but I certainly haven't seen anything quite as strange as this - or that burns 8 lamps!!
