VERY UNUSUAL Antique Edison GE Mazda Type 1900 -1910 Period Lightbulb
DESCRIPTION:Scans show it all.....EARLY ANTIQUE Edison type lightbulb. 5\" tall.
The long glass central post is there as well as internal wires/filaments. However, I have no way of testing it, and I don\'t believe it works. Still a great early display piece. Bulb glass is in decent condition, with only minor staining.The style is nice AND VERY EARLY. Looks just like the earliest style, including the blown glass tip. Made no later than 1900-1910, possibly earlier. Stencilled National Mazda on the side.
This is a great early bulb for display or to complete a period lamp!!
I have heard that Thomas Edison said goodbyeto the bulb business in 1892, when financiers forced him out of his company(Edison General Electric), and General Electric (GE) was born. In 1910 GE trademarked the word \"Mazda\" fortungsten-filament bulbs, and about a year later started marketing \"EdisonMazda\" and \"National Mazda\" bulbs. This bulb would have been made in the 1900 -10 period, probably in their NewJersey plant.
A particularly nice, early antique lightbulb for any collection!!!
