Bidspirit auction | Pair Neon Flower & Bird

Pair Neon Flower & Bird Bulbs - This lot contains two vintage neon glow discharge light bulbs, each featuring intricate internal metal sculptures that function as electrodes. The gas-filled glass envelopes create a luminous orange and purple glow when the bulbs are energized. The first bulb is a standard A-series shape and contains a metal sculpture of a rose and a smaller bud with detailed leaves. When powered, the rose petals emit a vibrant orange-red neon discharge. It is constructed with a clear glass bulb and a brass screw base. The second bulb is an elongated chimney or hurricane-style form. The interior features a metal sculpture of a swallow bird perched atop a floral bouquet. This bulb exhibits multiple colors when energized, including purple-pink glow on the flower petals while the bird remains a dark silhouette. The brass base on this bulb bears a stamped Underwriters Laboratories mark consisting of a circle containing the characters UL. Additional stamped characters are present on the base, appearing to read 120V along with an illegible wattage, though the maker's name is not readable.
