A French hand blown carbon filament lamp and the first antique bulb I ever bought- it came from Ebay last year and was quickly followed by many others (many of which arrived in the same box as this one), but still it was the first and so also one of my favourites. It was made in Paris by the Clé Glé company, as embossed around the European standard double-contact bayonet cap.

This is all I know about it so far and would welcome any other info my visitors can provide- do you know anything about the Clé Glé lamp company of Paris, France?

Shown here lit on 115v.
