comments
  Early GEM filament lamp evidenced by the two single hairpin filaments joined together in series at the center filament anchor. Skirted base stamped "PAT OCT.15.1907" with black glass and porcelain insulation. Label has three voltage ratings, new to GEM lamps in 1907 and continuing to at least 1910.
