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

Guild Response
Mrs Fisher: I've seen such bulbs before, but know absolutely nothing about them! Our Guild is Liquid or gaseous Fuel (kerosene, gasoline, alcohol, "city gas", etc) oriented, NOT electric. It is also NOT an appraisal service, nor has it any other commercial attachment, although some of our members may.
I have posted your question; perhaps some one visiting the page can answer it for you.
