collecting tubes is interesting as it is in modern history.
This other guy showed me a lot of his rarities and they were fascinating.
He had early hand blown Edison tubes and different variants of other tubes which follow. They were cool and obviously hand made.
But he got me hooked. I couldn't afford those early Edison stuff. But for a while there were a lot of older tubes being sold on Ebay and I picked up quite a few. The European stuff, especially, since they are relatively rare in the US.
And there are the boxes. The packaging was cool too: Sunlight Crusader, Bluebird, etc. Colorful and beautiful. Some tubes had interesting variants: gold glass, mottled base, etc. I find them all fascinating.
Unfortunately, you don't see much of those anymore.
I hardly can match the collection of my friend, but I did start early enough to get some nice pieces, even though many are dead....
