This bulb has a lighting element that is the size and shape of a nickel, a 5 cent piece.  It is two semi-circles 1/16 th of an inch apart, mounted horizontally, like a flat plate.  When lit, the flat plate, the size of a nickel glows orange

A 1930's neon indicator lamp by General Electric. These were also made with an argon atmosphere which made the electrodes glow a pretty violet.
