Identify bulb I bought 30 yrs ago
« on: December 27, 2008, 10:23:45 pm »
I suppose this is not considered vintage since I bought it about 30 years ago.  I took a magnifier to the base and I do not see a manufacturer.  It says SXL25W in black and then USA imprinted into the metal

looks like a GE "Flair" lamp, I have a number of these myself in the 40W size.

Wow, I think the Stardust is it.  The only place I ever saw these lights was in the lobby of the old McCormick Spice building in Baltimore down by the harbor.  I was getting married and asked where the lights came from because I wanted to use them for my reception.  I saved this one bulb.
