Great article Tim. I knew all that talk about cooking a vlasic on this site a while back would come around to haunt you.

What? No mention of the Imaginary Museum of Incandescent Lighting? What self-respecting publication would fail to include it?!?!?

Seriously, congratulations on the recognition, and here is hoping it brings a few more enlightened (pun intended) people to the website.

Please, I hope this guy is not referring to the Portgage Museum as imaginary. I have been there many times and it is probably the finest private collection of incandescent lights and related electrical collectables in the world. Period.

This PICT shows only a fraction of the collection:

BTW, Tim nice article - we bulb collectors need our passion to be more recognized - any good PR is a great asset to the hobby.

Well, as soon as I get my glass-doored bookcases up, I'll send photos of my Bucks County Museum of Incandescent Lighting and Unrestored Fans.

Of course, you won't find it in the phone book, either.

The Portage Museum finally receives its just recognition. Check out the recent article in the Cleveland Plain Dealer:

Congratulations Jerry!
