Fluorescent Fitting. How Long Has This Been Going On?

I was relamping some old high level 5 foot fluorescent fittings today. The Thorn Popular Pack type of old. They were fitted with Atlas tubes. So, I was wondering, what is the oldest working fluorescent fitting that you have come across with a heavy wound magnetic ballast and fluorescent starter unit?

    It is a fun thing to open an old fluorescent starter unit, or new one if you can afford it, and remove the small glass bulb inside. Release the small glass bulb from its connections. Then in a darkened room, say a garage, throw the small glass bulb onto a concrete floor and watch the light produced briefly. WARNING this is an addictive hobby, a bit like popping bubble wrap bubbles. I believe that therapy classes are available for both addictions.
