Cute globe, appears to be 40 or 60 watts but as far as I know they're pretty dim compared to the tungsten ones. My great-great-grandparents had these carbon filament bulbs and apparently used them up until my great grandma was a teen (1950s), there's still a 10-pack sitting at our basement, which I found after hearing glass noises while moving a wooden box that's been sitting in a damp corner for probably over a century. They appear to be unused but I'm not sure if I should power them up after so many years, I'm afraid the humidity may have ruined the filaments. I put them in silica balls and left them outside for a while to try to dry them as much as possible. Great-great-grandfather was a glass blower for the local electric light manufacturing co. which was a subsidiary of GE back in the day.
