Vintage 1940 Sylvania electric Light Bulb Carton With Original Frost Bulb Works:
$15.99

Vintage original Sylvania electric Light Bulb carton with 1 frosted bulb.

In looking at the carton, you can see on the end it says frost bulb.

Also,please take note that this is pretty fragile material and there are some creases, and a few cracks~I have tried to show all areas of concern.

Measurements are approximately 10 1/2” x 6 1/2” x 2 1/2”

This is a very rare find! And to have the original frosted bulb still working!!

If you have bare bulb fixtures at home from the 1920s and regular bulbs don't look right, you should try these painted bulbs! By the 1920s softened light was in demand with brighter bulbs being used, and GE started selling colored painted and frosted bulbs under their brand of Mazda Lamps. Mazda was an ancient God of Light, and they continued to use the term through the 1930s even licensing it to Westinghouse. Their painted bulbs were most commonly used on bare bulb fixtures---see the attached photos and note that this is not a colored,but a painted “frost” bulb and was also widely common to use round spheres in candle sconces.

This is a very “rare bird” and quite the find for that special collector!!

And again……..It works!!

Please view all photos as they are the best part of the description and you can see the lit bulb and the filament shows too!!
