Title: I just joined you to learn more about antique lighting and offer what I can
Post by: macpiper on April 15, 2017, 06:09:56 pm
My father was employed by PP&L for 38 years.  During his tenure he gave many presentations about the history of lighting , collected bulbs, ephemera, and a lot of GE information.  When he passed he asked that I find someone who will appreciate his work.  I am looking forward to a new learning experience and the ability to share.

Welcome to the forum!
Did your father have any information on GE holiday lighting such as distributor catalogs?
These are highly sought by collectors and historians.

I thought I would piggyback on this thread instead of creating my own. I went on a holiday to California last year and went to see the Centennial Light (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Centennial_Light/) in Livermore. That fascinated me so much, and since then I have been trying to find out more about how we used to light up our houses and how much that has changed to today.
