An early 1920s figural C-6 type Christmas light bulb in the shape of a fish, 3-1/4 inches long. It's hand painted in dark hot pink (almost red) with white belly on clear glass and is quite realistic looking with silver-rimmed black eyes and well detailed scales and fins. The paint is worn away at the back of the fish but the front half still has good paint coverage. The bulb still lights up as shown in the last picture.
