The First Soviet Bulb

April 14th, 2009

In Soviet Russia, bulb lights you, well ok not the best Soviet Russia joke but it was worth the shot. The picture above is however no joke, as bad as it is, this is the first light bulb made available for sale in Soviet Russia. According to the images source they had Lenin and Stalin silouete cutouts as glowers within the glass bulb and where considered at the time to be a very classy present with the first batch being presented to the delegates of Soviet parliament of 1935. Now they are considered very valuble anteques and can sell for upwards of $2000USD in Moscow antique shop.
