I have some good ones!  Not sure of the dates but the fixtures are from the 40s through the 70s!  I never knew the GE Mazda lamps were so old.  I have one in my old desk lamp.  I need to remove and put it away.  Got a lot of old Westinghouse F40T12 preheat lamps, Lots of "Mainlighter" GE F40s and the "Lifeline" Sylvania F40s.  Got some 6 foot "Powergroove" GE T17s and the 5 foot F90T17 preheat Westinghouse lamps (mogul bi pin)....ALL run with preheat ballasts.

Preheat Fluorescents forever!

I love fluorescent lighting, especially "old school" technology and I love diesel engines.
