Hi group - I thought I would share a bulb that I've held onto for 32
years now. It is one of two I found in an attic (the other a tungsten
cage filament) of a house a buddy and I rented. As we snooped around the
attic, I flipped the light switch on, saw the special looking filaments
and was drawn to them. Of course I unscrewed them to keep, replacing
them with your cheap standard bulbs.
Now that I have collected a good number of various bulbs, this one
still has me confused. It has the unsupported looped type carbon filament, anchored with
carbon paste to the lead- in wires.
On the top is a faint marking saying: quality service, but the rating
is still listed in candle power -16CP, not watts.
I guess, comparing to other bulbs I have or read about, this seems like
a very early bulb to be tipless. Any ideas?
