2018 Canada 1 oz Silver Maple Leaf Edison Light Bulb Privy

Since the early 1800s, when the first arc lamps were demonstrated to the public, inventors among them two Canadians, Henry Woodward and Mathew Evans looked for a filament material that would not melt or burn but would produce light inside of a glass tube to be used as a light source.
