I was wondering if anyone here could identify the maker and type of this light bulb. It was found alongside a tarantula filament Edison Mazda light bulb and a few other other artifacts from around the year 1911. I'm not familiar with antique light bulbs, but I thought the globular shape and absent base were peculiar.

Looks like a decorative type as opposed to a Christmas lamp, based on the size of the globe relative to the miniature base.  Neat little bulb!  I have no idea who made it, but there may be a stamp on the screw base that could provide a clue, but that base looks pretty rough.
