Does anyone out there also include modern edison replicas in their collections?

Replica lamps
« Reply #1 on: October 01, 2002, 01:32:00 pm »
Welcome to our little world! Nice to see another CPF member here.


I collect all sorts of lamps from the very earliest, to ones made last week. Admittedly I don`t actually have any of the very earliest, or any made last week, but plenty in between- from earlier this year right back to the later 1890s  

I have one replica type, but would be keen to add more- except no-one at all is interested in selling me any. There are no companies in this country (Wales/UK) that sell them and all the US based online stores either won`t reply to me, or want a hundred bucks to ship two bulbs because they will only use UPS  

I`ll keep trying though. But in short, yes- there is at least one collector who collects both.
