I remember reading something, some time ago, about how one of the original light bulbs is still burning, somewhere. Not sure if it’s true, though.

We have one of those. It came from hubbys great aunts front porch, and stayed lit 24/7, never turned off. We don't use it, but it is still good. This is from the 1920's era.
What's it worth? nada, just curiosity.

There is a bulb in Menlo Park that has been burning for a hundred years. They make sure not to make them that well any more.
