Hi Peter,
Nice images. I have a couple of original Edison carbon filament bulbs
that I have had for about 60 years. They were still in use when I
replaced them with more modern bulbs during the 1950s. One was lighting
a church stairway, and the other was from my grandparents' old home. As
long as they were out of reach and not jostled, they just kept on burning.
