I just recalled that I had a photo of the bulbs on-line.

Hi Chris,
Back in the 1950s, I "rescued" two original Edison carbon filament
bulbs that I discovered in my home town, one above my grandparents'
staircase, and another at my wife's church. I still have them with
the filaments intact. Maybe I should have left them alone, but I
figured they would be tossed out and forgotten. My grandparents' home
was eventually torn down, and the church installed an elevator. But
the relics live on.

For those in similar circumstances, here is a link to the
worlds longest burning light bulb. It has been on for over one
hundred years and has just passed a million hours in operation. Even
has its own web cam.
