Vintage C7 Neon Indicator Bulbs
Got these bulbs for Christmas! Pretty neat little bulbs; they use only 1/4 of a Watt and emit a warm orange glow. I think these were originally sold as indicator bulbs, but they work in any standard C7 socket. Made by Westinghouse.

Nice Smile

What does the stamp says at the cap? Is there anywhere say something like NE and numeric at the bulb?

Thanks! Glad you like them. Smile

There seems to be a very faint label on the side of the glass actually; it has the older Westinghouse "W" symbol, surrounded by a circular line of text that reads: 1/4W...107-125V...neon. That's all it says. The only thing I can make out on the brass base is "U.S.A."

No problem. I actually didn't know that they were made by Westinghouse until when I just looked!
