Here`s a nice interesting little thing I got recently....
(http://images.honesty.com/imagedata/h/508/04/25080401.jpg) (http://images.honesty.com/imagedata/h/508/04/25080402.jpg)
It`s a wooden holder that a miniature base flashlight bulb was sold in, and measures 2 1/2 inches tall by about 7/8 diameter, and is British I`m sure. The printing on the top part says "METALLIC FILAMENT ELECTRIC BULB" and "HH" "Trade Mark" at the top. The bulb in the second picture probably isn`t the original, it bears the "Mazda" name round the base though so who knows?
Has anyone else come accross these? I`d never seen one before so would like to know if they`re particuarly hard to find and what sort of period would they be from? Were American flashlight bulbs sold in similar wooden holders/tubes once too?
thanks,
