<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Chevellet, post: 201049, member: 3168&quot;]I work in an historic house museum and have a current project gathering information on a couple of light bulbs used in the home.&nbsp; Unfortunately, I also need to replace them, but that might be a whole different project in itself.&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>In case it helps, the home was built in 1906 and was remodeled in 1924.&nbsp; A majority of the furnishings and fixtures date to the 1924 remodel.&nbsp; I have also included pictures of the ceiling fixture in the home that houses the light bulbs.&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>The bulb looks to have been painted a peach color in a gradient with the paint fading towards the top of the globe.&nbsp; In some places the paint has chipped or faded.&nbsp; This is a regular Edison socket and one of the pictures shows the internal workings of the bulb.&nbsp; There are no markings to show wattage, volts or part #s. The measurements are 3&quot; diameter and about 4&quot; tall, including the metal screw. </p><p><br /></p><p>If anyone has information on these bulbs and would like to share, it would be Oh so helpful to me because I need to accession each piece of the collection.&nbsp; If anyone has information on replacements that would also be of great use.&nbsp; We have a total of 10 in the fixtures and need at least 6 replacements.&nbsp; My biggest fear would be putting too high of volt or watt in the fixture and either damaging it or getting too bright of light output for the room.&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>Thanks so much for your help.</p><p><br /></p><p>Chevelle</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]57541[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]57542[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]57543[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]57539[/ATTACH]&nbsp; [ATTACH=full]57540[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
