Jeffery discovered a very fine treasure in one of his Grand-dad's boxes of stuff. We think the box was packed and stored back around 1940, but we could be wrong. (It has been known to happen) Anyway, this fabulous Christmas tree light bulb is conceivably 73 years old. Jeffery remembers seeing his Grandma's huge tree lit with strings of these bulbs when he was a lad. He also remembers that they weren't kept on for very long; probably due to how hot they got.
The COOLEST part is that the light bulb still works!
Here, let me show you!

| we plugged it into our bathroom over-the-sink fixture |
 |
| Doesn't it shed a lovely light? Hard to put makeup on.....but then, it's a Christmas tree light. |
 |
| We decided to honor it by decorating our tree with it. Looks right at home, doesn't it? |
