    Recently, I came across an extremely interesting electric light bulb in an old house. It is shaped like the globe of a hurricane lamp and is about five inches tall. Inside the bulb are metallic leaves, flowers, and a bird. When the bulb is lit the bird and flowers glow lavendar and the leaves glow green. Where the base of the bulb usually has a black resin seal, this one has a cobalt blue glass seal. There are absolutely no markings on the bulb at all.
    I would appreciate any info you could give me concerning age, origin, value, etc. I have not been able to locate anything concerning this type bulb in any of the research I have done.
    Thanks for any help you can give me. T.Fisher
