These G.E.C lamps were used by the G.P.O, All British Rail Services and the M.O.D, although dating from the early 1930's their continuous use made them common place is war offices in the late 30' and 40's. G.E.C were also an industry standard for factory/manufacturing and street lights. There rarity is in the fact they were industry used, so when new models arrived they simply became surplus to requirements, unless saved by a worker at the particular industry which is why we are fortunate to still occasionally see them today.
