Hello - I purchased these at an antique action in Scotland back in the 1980s
Internet searches have turned up nothing like them.
Your help please.

Found a company by the name of Independent "New Light" Company located in Schenectady, New York (where General Electric was located in early 1900's) that is listed as still active today. No info how to contact them, though I doubt they are even aware of their beginnings and no online info of its origins.

Antique Bulb Discussion / Searching for a publication

Hello All!  I am new to the group and already in search of some assistance.  My grandfather was Daniel K. Wright and is listed in a =n article in "Characteristics of Ten and Fifty Kilowatt Incandescent Lamps" which I am trying to find a copy of.  Does anyone have any ideas as to where I might find this?  For more reference here is an article from Lamptech on him:  http://www.lamptech.co.uk/Documents/People%20-%20Wright%20DK.htm
Thank you in advance and best wishes to you all.

Found the "Independent" carbon lamp was established in 1895. I still can't find my bulb or where "Independent" carbon lamp is located. Source for this is Chicago Museum of Science & Technology.

Light bulb Grandma used as night light. I received it in 1978 after she passed away. Mom thought she bought it at a yard sale about 1940, it still works. Tipped bulb, Edison base with porcelain, paste connectors, spiral filaments' tall glass pedestal with the letter "Z" molded into the base, lightly darken (assume carbon and vacuum) bulb. For me to pass down to my kids, I need to know all I can.

Antique Bulb Discussion / Help Identify Argon? Bulb and Holder
« Last post by Scooterhook on March 29, 2022, 01:49:03 pm »
I have what I believe is a vintage GE Argon bulb and bulb holder with 110v socket.  The bulb holder is aluminum and has what seems to be a UV glass filter.  This came from a defunct paper laboratory.  Is it rare?  Any idea of its worth?  Check the pictures.
Thanks in advance for the comments.
