Hi Chris,
Back in the 1950s, I "rescued" two original Edison carbon filament bulbs
that I discovered in my home town, one above my grandparents' staircase,
and another at my wife's church. I still have them with the filaments
intact. Maybe I should have left them alone, but I figured they would
be tossed out and forgotten. My grandparents' home was eventually torn
down, and the church installed an elevator. But the relics live on.

For those in similar circumstances, here is a link to the worlds longest
burning light bulb. It has been on for over one hundred years and has just
passed a million hours in operation. Even has its own web cam.
