[QUOTE="Any Jewelry, post: 412144, member: 2844"]Do they rattle when you shake them? If they do, they won't work. Here is some info, including different shapes, but no info on dates of shapes: [URL]https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Incandescent_light_bulb[/URL] The town where I live is the hometown of Philips, a company that started producing light bulbs in the 1890s. There is a museum, you could contact them. I'm sure they have an idea (lightbulb:playful:) even if yours are probably not Philips made. You can contact them at [EMAIL]info-museum@philips.com[/EMAIL] From this site: [URL]https://www.philips.nl/en/a-w/philips-museum/about/contact.html[/URL] The first Philips 'factory', the museum is built around it: [IMG]https://cnet3.cbsistatic.com/img/gDkMk_imOGEViVw-G_W2LEs_oVQ=/936x527/2014/09/30/54bb0f23-3f06-44d2-8af5-c976323f4e33/philips-museum-eindhoven-6.jpg[/IMG] To us light bulbs are never 'just lightbulbs', so [USER=2022]@Rayo56[/USER] you may like this. Early light bulbs were made by women and young girls whose delicate fingers could get inside the bulb (sorry, no ships;)). This is 'our' Lampmaker statue, honouring those who brought light to our world in the 1890s: [IMG]http://www.eindhoven-in-beeld.nl/images/eb-eindhoven/4050.jpg[/IMG][/QUOTE]
