I think there was a purpose in painting it black.
---I see a dial lamp and I want to paint it black---
I think these were used with the vertical cylinder lens. So they might've tried to only have the image of the filament, and not a reflected blob, that would create an extra lighting around the focused line. It's a theory, of course.
So they might've used black to intentionally not reflect the light.

People who do not drink, do not smoke, do not eat red meat will one day feel really stupid lying there and dying from nothing.
