Found in someone’s grandma’s basement…. They were made by Aerolux Light Corporation, in NYC, during WW2. They feature a “V” for Victory with lightning bolt, which was marketed by Aerolux as “Speedy Victory,” and the Morse Code “V” for Victory.
The bulbs come in either a vibrant hot orange or purple, and seem to range in price, when found, $100-$300 per.
They made lots of lights…
What, it won’t let me post a link? OK, go to wiki and look at Aerolux Light Corp, NYC and embiggen the pictures on the right.
