In the Old Days, we used to make our Lightbulbs by hand, and They Lasted Longer

Treehugger brings us a handcrafted lightbulb in California that has been working since 1901. It was made by the Shelby Electric Company, has a carbon filament and an approximate wattage of 4 watts. It has been left burning continuously in a firehouse as a nightlight over the fire trucks.

100 year old bulb burns somewhat brightly
