Robertson (GEC) 220V 50CP Carbon Filament Lamp An eBay find. It consumes around 230W at its rated voltage of 220V. I am not 100% sure of the date of production, so I hope someone can help. The etch is very worn but I can see that the date code is 11 and I believe it uses the ELMA code system which according to the online calculator I used gives one of four possibilities - Nov 1934, 1942, 1950 or 1958. I doubt it is 1934 as the construction looks too recent for that, but hopefully the wrapper design might give a clue..? Keywords: Lamps

1942 would have wartime restrictions about the packaging printed on it, so now we're down to two possibilities... Wonder
