1953 Coronation Neon Lamp Never thought I'd find one of these, so we have to say many thanks to Andy (Photonicinduction) for this wonderful example. It seems a little different (and slightly smaller) from others that I've seen, the lettering is more ornate than the one on [url=http://lamptech.co.uk/Spec%20Sheets/D%20G%20Ne%20Coronation.htm][b]Lamptech[/b][/url] for example. Sadly there is no etch anywhere, we obviously know the date, but who made this and where, does anyone know..? Keywords: Lamps

I've no idea who made it, but that's a very nice lamp indeed. I admire the effort that went in the design and production of the electrodes, that must have been very labor intensive!

Nice find Ria ! The LampTech listing does say they were also made by Osram-GEC .

@Max - Indeed, people cared about what they made back then.

@Tim - Could be Wonder

Other manufacturers would have made them as well. Bulb Man
