Not see many mercury lamps with this type of outer envelope. Interesting lamp and wattage.

That was certainly not a common bulb shape for a mercury lamp in Europe after the 1950s. In North America there was a consumer market for mercury luminaires intended for patio/garden lighting, something that simply did not exist over here.
