Vintage Westinghouse & G-E Mazda No. 57 Miniature Automotive Lamps - Bulk Lot
Up for grabs is a fantastic vintage estate find: a bulk collector lot of early Westinghouse Miniature Mazda Lamps and one G-E (General Electric) Mazda Lamps box. These feature incredible classic 1930s–1950s graphics and typography on the original cardboard sleeves.
Application Info: The No. 57 bulb is a classic automotive standard. Operating on a 12–16V system, these miniature bayonet bulbs were widely used in vintage cars and trucks for dashboard gauges, instrument panels, glove boxes, radio dials, and license plate lights. (Note: Due to the 12V voltage requirement, these are for automotive/machinery use and are not meant for standard battery-powered flashlights).
