Ken-Rad H39-22KB (H39KB-175) Long-Life 175W Mercury Vapor Lamp
Ken-Rad lamps, a brand of Westinghouse from 1946, until circa 1970. 
Prior to 1946, Ken-Rad (Kentucky Radio Corp.) as an independent manufacturer made electronic vacuum tubes and light bulbs. That year, the company was split in two parts and sold off - lamps to Westinghouse, and tubes to General Electric. Both companies continued to use the Ken-Rad brand. It appears that Westinghouse dropped in first, sometime in the early 70's.
