Yours truely, the webmaster, took a trip this summer to Ohio to visit family, and Shelby! I was fortunate enough to spend a few days visiting Sally and the museum. Please follow this link to see the pictures I took of not only Shelby Bulbs, but of an amazing assortment of historical photos, clothes, and products from companies long gone.

MUSEUM

Sept. 12, 2006

I just received a large (200) watt Shelby light bulb from a career army man retired ,who has carried this bulb all over where he was stationed in the U.S.A. , Japan and Hawaii. He now lives in Arkansas and found the museum web page, e-mailed me , then donated the Shelby bulb to our museum.The name Shelby is acid etched on the glass near the base and on the base are two patents above each other . Nov. 8, 1904 and Nov. 22,1904 It is larger than the ones we have at the museum, and the ONLY one we have with the dates of patents.. It is exciting to have bulbs like the one you found and the one we just received that are still able to be turned on and see them come to "life" after all these years. Just had to share this good news
with you.

I do not have the bulb on at the museum, but I did turn it on to see if it worked, which it did. & it got too hot too fast so I shut it off.

Tom Clabaugh brought his camera to the museum & took pictures of the bulb that was sent back "home" to Shelby, so I could send it to you.
