✅ SOLVED Old Light Bulb

[cambria09]

Hello All. I found this item at a 1900's era house on the intracoastal.

The bulb is heavy glass not plastic, 1.5-IN across, and the metal parts are brass.

Is this an early flash light bulb, car part, or some other kind of light?

Thanks for the view and HH out there. C9

Hello jewelryguy. I think you and BosnMate are right, an old flashlight bulb. Time frame seems about right too as the house is said to be built in 1900.

Thanks for the link. I'm gonna' add Flashlight Museum dot Com to my research sites list. Good luck. C9
