Hi all! I am a new member here with plenty of experience with old light bulbs and electric fans

I have a pretty decent collection of old bulbs and I am very into fans as well.
The main reason I joined was because I had some questions about a 30's-40's lamp and bulb that I found in a thrift shop some time ago. I was told by a collector of vintage and antique lamps that this futuristic looking lamp might have come out of a movie theatre but that is about all I know about it. There are no markings of any kind anywhere.
The bulb that came with it is what really mystifies me. It is small, balloon shaped, with a seam running down the middle of it and it has a medium base. The bulb has silvered some, from age I guess. All I know is that it is a GE bulb, the rest of the stamp on top is worn off.
I believe the wall plate on the lamp is solid copper. Also, the two bulbs (the wierd bulb and a stardard size bulb) are wired in series. Thanks in advance for any help
