Hi Kirk,
What I am still hoping to see on your site is a back and forth banter between early bulb/ and or electrical hardware collectors. If its here I can't find it. The more pics posted the more the public(including me) gets educated.
There has been some good discussion on the antique bulb forum in years past (my personal favorite is
this thread), but yes - activity has dropped off for whatever reason. This forum is open to anyone interested in antique light bulbs to discuss and share information, and I continually invite people to join and banter back and fourth about this subject.
Just wanted to compliment you on your Lane Fox Bulbs.
Thanks for the compliments on the Lane-Fox lamps. I was excited to acquire them and the spec labels are indeed a great feature associated with most Lane-Fox lamps that I have seen. I would love to hear from other people with similar L-F bulbs and compare labels and talk about Latimer Clark Muirhead & Company. Anyone?
Your pic collections are extremely valuable here. Esp Dr Hicks, and the Edison Fla pics.
I'm glad you find the site useful - that's good to know and it gives me more confidence to keep plugging away on it when I have the spare time.
If we are still as geographically close as before maybe we can swap visits sometime.
Sounds like a good idea. I'd like to see what's new in your collection. I remember you had some awesome bulbs and a huge assortment of early electrical things. I know of a few other collectors in the area, it would be fun to get some people together in the warmer months!
