My name is Gail. I am so impressed by the beautiful bulbs I saw on your website. Recently, while cleaning out a closet, I found a box with some antique bulbs. My late husband was an electrician and found these during a remodeling job in the early 1970's. He was an apprentice back then and had the good sense to hold on to them. While I am not surpirsed that there are bulb collectors, (I belong to "We Actually Collect Electric Mixers") what impressed me is how many bulbs have survived a 100 years. The figural bulbs are amazing. I have a tulip, but it's seen better days. I also have 3 coiled tungsten (circa 1915?). Perhaps I will post pictures in the future and might consider finding a new home for them among you collectors. In our disposable world, its wonderful to see there are still people who appreciate and want to preserve those innovations from long ago. While today's energy saving bulbs are necessary, those old bulbs/tube certainly have character.
Also, I read about a man in England who has stock piled several thousand incandescent bulbs since they will be banned soon and he doesn't like flourescent. How extreme. Regards, Elway's Grammie
