Old Edison light bulb?

I have an old edison light bulb. It is mounted in a wooden base with screw down wire connecters on each side of base. wires are sealed in wax. This does not appear to be the 50 year commerative that was made just before the great depression. These bulbs had a metal tag mounted to the base. This base has no tag and no holes where the tag might have been. Any idea of value or how to tell if it's authenic.

    www.bulbcollector.com would probably be a good place to start. As far as value, I saw a original Edison light bulb appraise for $3,000-$5,000 on Antique Road Show.

    It sounds authentic. Take it to dealers, but let them know up front that you're not selling it. They are more likely to let you know its true value, then, but you'll have to pay for an estimate of its value, probably.
