Wow! That looks interesting derelict fixture you have there!

Is the bulb Mogul base?

no med base it has a glass lens also i just took it off i figure it was out of service for over 60 yrs hence the bulb it came from new orleans from a friend that saved it

hey rych what kind of base is it...does it have a series configuration or does the socket look newer? I am wondering...usually series have larger socket....except the REALLY EARLY ones did have medium....the standard regular paralell socket for streetlights wasn't introduced until the 1940s

Some of these were used on outside of buildings, that's why many were made in multiple. The bulb, as I recall is a GE Mazda 100w.

Ouch. That's pretty rusty. Nice find though.

He has a another picture of this being restored!

if i rememeber right it came from the 9th ward area in new orleans back when katrina hit i have afriend that was called up to do repair work down there i told him man i have no idea but it looks old

Hey Rych did you get my reply to your PM regarding the age of the bulb?

yeah im trying to find the bulb but im like o cmon now were is it
