Masonic Light Bulbs

This early Masonic Light Bulb still works and has remnants of the gold and blue paint which decorated it. The round face measures approx 3 inches over all. These bulbs were made in Austria (visible on the rim of the brass base) and contain a long-lasting, hot-burning carbon filament. I'm not sure of the date but 40s is likely. It was used in one of the electric "Three Lesser Light" candle stands that are placed in a triangular position about the Altar in the Lodge room.

A special "Thanks" to Chris Kocsis, a bulb collector, for his description of the Masonic bulb pictured above.
