Nice! Yeah no "F15T8" code on the lamp so its definitely 1950s. Cool

Thanks! This one is outside etched so I tried to be careful when I cleaned the lamps (they were filthy when I got them). I'll have to say I never seen the 50s style CGE etch before I got this.

Interesting that this was outside etch, as all the USA GEs were inside etch til the 70s.

Yeah, I guess all the Canadian GE fluorescents were outside etched. My 60s and 70s Canadian lamps were all outside etch.

I also find the older Canadian GE fluorescents have less durable etches than the US ones. I can gently wipe the US etches with a damp paper towel but the Canadian ones I really have to avoid getting wet.
