Antique Bulb Discussion / Re: source for pipped 45 mm (1 3/4") bulbs with E14 sockets?
« Last post by Tim on April 05, 2020, 10:18:44 am »
I'm curious to know what you are restoring that uses these bulbs?

Hello everyone,
I'm new to this forum and joined to try and find a source for a specific type of bulb for a restoration project I'm working on. I'm looking for old, NOS, or new bulbs which look like the one in the attached photo. They are 45 mm (1 3/4") diameter, have a pip on the end, and fit an E14 socket. They can be either 110 or 220V and will be put into occasional use.

Does anyone know of a source for this type of bulb? I have no idea and any leads or suggestions would be greatly appreciated. Thank you in advance.

Hello NZ,

I think your estimate c. 1905 is right in the ballpark.

The black glass insulator on the base began replacing earlier forms of insultation such as porcelain or plaster around 1901. The 8cp and 16cp (candle power) ratings were phased out on carbon filament lamps in 1910 (replaced by wattage ratings). So c. 1905 is a realistic estimate.

The filling in the stem is cotton wool, possibly used to prevent the lead-in wires from accidentally coming into contact with each other during manufacture of the bulb.

Best Regards,
PCris

Greetings, I'm looking for a replacement lamp.  Can't tell what wattage (15W? 7.5W?), looks like an E17 base.  It came on an 1879 edison lamp replica.
