Props made by John Jenkins of Bellingham will be featured in HBO's 'Gilded Age,' as part of a story arc involving Thomas Edison.
Railroad magnates. Robber barons. Society matrons. Muckraking journalists. Charitable organization founders.
“I recommended what he could use, and he asked me where he might be able to get some,” Jenkins continued. “And I said, ‘Well, I could make you some if you’d like.’ And so that’s how it happened.” “I took it home and fixed it and just kind of got hooked,” Jenkins said, and that led to collecting and repairing all kinds of old radios. “Later, as I got older, I became more interested in history and how one invention leads to another and how things develop.”
“That was the tricky part, because [I’m not] a glass blower [and] I can’t make lightbulbs,” Jenkins said. “And there’s no way anybody, including me, is going to let [a filmmaker] use an authentic light bulb for a prop, because 1880 is when lightbulbs first started being mass produced, and so finding any surviving [early bulbs] is extremely rare.”
“[The prop master] called me back and said, ‘The director loves them,’” Jenkins said, then told him, “‘We want to use a fancier one, a little bit fancier fixture, to light up Thomas Edison’s face when he throws the switch and turns on the lights. We want to illuminate his face in a kind of a tight shot. So can you make a nicer looking one for that?’”
