*** General Electric MAZDA 1061, 6/8 volts, Auto Bulbs ***

[General Apathy]

anyone here throw some light on this subject . . . . . . . . please

 

Sorting through my spares I have this pack of ten bulbs made by General Electric under their ' MAZDA ' brand, single filament 6 / 8 volt auto bulbs ' model Mazda 1061 ' no idea what vehicle it was used with if anyone knows.  These came along with some surplus US military spares I bought, the Wiki site states that General Electric finished using the MAZDA name in 1945, so every chance of being no later than 1945.  !!!

Pre 1940 , before sealed headlamps became the norm. You have replacement bulbs.

Also used on early Harley Davidson "Guide" headlights including the WLA. The flanged one in your 1st picture.

Thanks for the comments, I was taken by the unusual shape of the glass compared to today's globe shaped bulbs. Maybe they expose a larger light glow with the flatter front area.  

 

thanks lewis
