Lamps and Lightbulbs
Print
September 2012

Vintage lamps may now have to be altered to accommodate the new types of light bulbs. But this has a happened before. In 1860 kerosene was the fuel used for light. Electricity, introduced in 1879, made the cost of lighting much lower and old lamps were adapted or discarded. For more information on lighting, lamps, and their prices, go to Kovels.com.
