Siemens "Britannia" 200W Pip-top Lamp Here is a lovely old pip-top lamp that I am hoping someone can help date. It is a 200W lamp and looking at the etch it appears to be 200V as well, it certainly looks full brightness lit at that voltage. There are 8 filament supports in a C9 ring format and it is single coil. Keywords: Lamps

Lovely classic and such an old bulb shape! Given its design, the lamp is definitely from the 1913-1921 period. If the filament sags during operation over time, then it was made before 1917-18, and after that if the coil structure remains intact (but you'll have to run the lamp to find out Wink ).
