Unusual GE lights

Post by paulrace »

A reader said:

Christmas Greetings!... I have a brand new string of lights still on the original packaging card!... just like the light that is on this page at:
http://www.oldchristmastreelights.com/i ... f_lamp.jpg
It is a string of 6 lights: red, blue, yellow, green, read (again), and lastly white. Both my father and grandfather worked at General Electric GE Lighting, Nela Park - Lighting Institute. My father recently gave me a box of old Christmas light and this very-rare piece was part of it. If you are interested in a picture of this string still on its original packinging, I'll gladly email it to you for your site.

I said:

I can't believe you have come across one of these. Yes, I would appreciate a photo. Just reply to this message and send it as an attachment. Leave it Hi-rez and I'll resize it here.

I have a couple friends who would love to see this.

So he sent this photo:
