I'm so glad to have started this thread !
Its great to see some of these fabulous bulbs.
I shall be looking out for some more now.
Both of mine came from boxes of tat at different junk auctions - it was a miracle they didn't get broken.
When I found the Renewable Lamp Co bulb I spoke to a great guy called Roy (it may have been Ray !) who was writing a book about bulbs and gave me a lot of info on my bulb, I don't know if he ever published the book.
