While we are on light bulbs . . .
does anyone know of a reference book on
turn of the century light bulbs???

We excavated landfills from the 1904
St. Louis World's Fair and found, in
12 summers, only 3 bulbs.  They look more
like "radio tubes" but I have been
assured that they are light bulbs.

I have scoured the St. Louis libraries
to no avail.  Any references, assistance
would be greatly appreciated.  I can get
the books through Interlibrary Loan.

Thanks!
