    I own one just like it that still works. I found it when I was a kid and an old house was being remodeled. Mine has the patent year stamped in the base.

    Between light bulbs, Nixies, LED's and Pilot Razor Points, old space race tech, Illuminated toggle switches and amps and pedals, your interests totally correlate with my own. It's almost spooky!

    While it's not older in terms of manufacture, I have a 250w mercury vapor bulb that has something like 120,000 hours of use on it and incredibly still works. Philips lifeguard I think is what it's branded
