Westinghouse 45W 6.6A series airport lamp, from the dumps! I got this vintage lamp in the dumpster. This actually was my last find from the garbage collecting company's dumpsters (in July 2010) before their bankruptcy two months ago. The sleeve first had a strong gasoline smell, but today I smelled it again and I could barely notice the odour! The filament has been checked with an ohmmeter and the lamp does work! The etch is also barely faded out. Keywords: Lamps

Westinghouse 45W 6.6A series airport lamp, from the dumps!

I got this vintage lamp in the dumpster. This actually was my last find from the garbage collecting company's dumpsters (in July 2010) before their bankruptcy two months ago. The sleeve first had a strong gasoline smell, but today I smelled it again and I could barely notice the odour!

The filament has been checked with an ohmmeter and the lamp does work! The etch is also barely faded out.

Does it have any date code or date around it....Looks like there's no word "Mazda" anywhere....(unless Canadian lamps didn't have it) I have some lamps with same style package for Westinghouse and some has the word "Mazda" on it which means it was from before 1945!

There's no Mazda name anywhere on the sleeve nor the lamp. As of the date code, I didn't look for one.
