Light Bulb Bottle Appraisal

Vintage General Electric GE Light Bulb Shaped Glass Bottle

This item is a clear glass bottle, flat on one side and slightly rounded on the reverse, designed with embossed details to resemble a vintage General Electric incandescent light bulb. It measures approximately 8-10 inches in height and 4-5 inches in width, given its relative size to the floor tiles. The bottle features a relatively narrow neck topped with a ribbed, possibly aluminum or tin, screw-on cap. The dominant feature is the deeply embossed 'GENERAL ELECTRIC' text and the iconic 'GE' logo, surrounded by what appears to be a depiction of an ornate light bulb filament or internal structure, intricately detailed into the glass. The text 'WATCH THEM BURN' is visible near the top, while 'LONGER' is likely below the main logo, suggesting an advertising slogan for their long-lasting bulbs. The glass itself is clear, though it exhibits some cloudiness or residue on the interior and minor surface dirt, indicating previous use or storage. There are no obvious cracks, chips, or major structural damages visible, although inherent manufacturing imperfections such as small bubbles or mold lines may be present, characteristic of glass production from its likely era. The style indicates it's a promotional item, probably dating from the mid-20th century, possibly the 1930s-1950s, given the typography and the 'GE' logo style. Its unique shape and embossed advertising make it a distinctive piece of industrial memorabilia and a collectible item.
