I don't know how they have been around, but in the mid-1950's I converted a brass candle-stick telephone to a table lamp and used an original Edison Lamp in it, because it looked great! That bulb burned out in about 1966-68 and while looking for a replacement, I met a guy in Pennsylvania who made custom Lab Glass equipment and he had a sideline of making reproduction bulbs.
I only bought one of his bulbs and after I saw it work, thought I'd buy some more, but the next time I was down there, he had moved. His lamps were not as yellow as an original Edison.
