Edison Mazda Lamps Light Bulb Display

Made in Canada. Mid-1920s. Two single-sided tin signs, diecut. Variations of the slogan "The Sun's Only Rival" were first introduced by General Electric for its Edison lamps in 1897. Edison Mazda lamps were widely distributed across Canada via Canadian General Electric (CGE). St. Thomas Metal Signs was commissioned to produce these displays. Interestingly, from 1917 to 1923, the massive St.. Thomas factory complex on First Avenue was leased out to the Thomas Edison Company for use as its Canadian phonograph manufacturing plant. Edison vacated the plant in 1923, making the mid-1920s as the exact time when production began on these displays. The display includes four separate switches to enable the operator to demonstrate different kinds of bulbs. Labelled, "St Thomas Metal Signs, St Thomas, Ontario" underneath. All items are guaranteed authentic by Miller & Miller Auctions.
