Barnaby Here is what we believe to be our oldest lamp, who we have named Barnaby, after an old catses. He's carbon filament and has a cap that is 15.7mm in diameter, slightly larger than the standard SBC size of 15mm. He just fitted into our test box socket for testing, but I didn't force him..! He does light, by the way..! There are no markings or etches anywhere on this lamp; if anyone has any information as to possible age or origin, please comment below. Keywords: Lamps

We believe that he's from the late nineteenth or early twentieth century due to the manner of construction. Cool

Super museum quality old-timer there and with a well deserved display case.
