I have an authentic Masonic hand blown glass light bulb that has the tradtional Free Mason compass and G fillament that still lights up and glows. This was passed down to me by a 32 degree Mason. I don't know much about this piece other then I can't find anything out about it, I do know that it was made specially for the Mason that I got it from it was given to him as a gift from a fellow mason. This bulb was made between 1935 and 1959. Anyone know anthting about it or its value?

You can buy similar light bulbs from Hiramhunter and other masonic supply shops for under $10 each. In a masonic lodge three such lights are used. The ones in my lodge are quite old as well. They are only used for a couple hours every once and a while so they can last a long time. As for the value of yours in particular, well it likely has more sentimental value than intrinsic.

Hope this helps
