Because early television sets had small screens and dark
pictures, it was feared that extensive viewing in a dark room would
cause eye damage - yet too much direct light diminished the picture
quality. Thus the birth of TV lamps. Featuring decorative forms of
animals or other objects with bulbs in back or inside, these devices
have become hot collectibles.
More than 525 color photos accompanied by
descriptions, color, forms, measurements, and current collector values
are presented in this book. It is a great historical reference for
museums, historical societies, collectors, auctioneers, dealers, and
others curious to learn about TV lamps and their evolution. Histories
of 103 manufacturers located in the U.S., Japan, Italy, and Holland are
included, as well as forewords and photos from two of the most advanced
TV lamp collectors in the country. This book is certain to enlighten
you on all aspects concerning the world of TV lamps.
