From before 1945 since that's when GE dropped the MAZDA name...

My guess is 1930s to 1945. Very nice!

That's a bit older than I thought. Better keep this baby safe. Cool

I think my oldest NOS bulb is from the 50s.

@ Joe; Yeah a bit older than i thought too. Shocked

I'm definetly keeping this one and its sleeve in a nice safe spot! Before my oldest NOS lamp was either late 70s or 80s (one of my sylvania 175W mercs).

@ Andy; yeah when i got my used GE 14W T12 from the Restore from the 1950s i was like "wow! this is super old!" then i layed eyes on this and was speechless when i looked int eh box to find this and two other lamps. I was just like " Shocked

THANKS!!!

@Mike: What is the oldest bulb do you have in your collection so far? Is this the oldest one by far?

This and the neon lamp beat all my other lamps in age by about 30 years lol. This lamp is the oldest NOS lamp I've ever had (and probably ever will have). I'm going to take really good care of this one and the other two lamps (well I make it a point to take care of all my lamps but these three and the 1950s GE F14/D are my oldest ones and i will protect them like a mama bear protects her cubs.
