Description: You are viewing/purchasing an original 1950's to 1960's era Japan light bulb intended for use in antique tin toys or certain flashlights. These bulbs are NOT a modern reproduction, they were manufactured in the early 1950's. Beautiful, correct, and vintage. They are 2.24v rating, are intended for use with either two 1.2v AA, C, or D batteries, but can be used with a single 1.5v (alkaline) AA, C, or D battery, though it will be dimmer of course. Stamped on the brass base "2.24V JAPAN" they also have the correct white painted reflector inside the base mounting as seen in the photos. C2R (C-2R) filament, design hour rating is 5, E10 Edison miniature base (old flashlight and typical toy screw base) FE 3-3/4 Flat End bulb shape. Produced for importing to the USA hardware and toy markets about 75 years ago, and made to the GE 223 bulb specifications, it has the correct filament, correct brass base, accurate white reflector, and can be used in toys from the 1930's to the 1960's (though most accurately from the late 1940's to the early 1960's). If your toy needs a flat-ended bulb like the 223, but was US-manufactured prior to the mid 1930's, please message us as we have many other flat ended bulbs that will have the older and correct S type filament. We also have the American-made equivalents should you require them. Our shop has the world's largest inventory of antique toy light bulbs, if your toy was made after 1920, chances are we may have it on-hand. We take great care with inspection, measurement, and correct identification. In addition to providing antique toy repairs and restorations, we also have a passion for high quality American, Swiss, German, and Austrian tooling and machinery. Please view our other auctions over the next several weeks including a number of watchmaker lathes and lathe accessories. Our packaging is second to none, everything is always packaged extremely well when we ship out our customer's purchases and restorations.
