Help ID "ECONOMICAL" bulb
« on: May 21, 2010, 08:29:06 am »
While digging through a box of old tubes I found this unusual bulb:

Clear slightly elongated (looks like a 280 tube)

Regular Base.

Sticker on it says "Pat 6,4,02"  "Pat 6,3,03"

large 2.5 turn filament, very floppy, no supports.

tiny inner filament (broken off )

small switch on base, I assume to turn on either filament, with safety-wire holes.

Any Idea who made it and what it might be worth?


Thanks,

George
