No, a lamp must be run on the correct voltage it was designed for, to work properly.
You can determine the amps of any power consuming source by dividing the watts by the volts. Example: If the bulb is 60 watts and your volts are 120, then 60/120 = .5 amps. Or you could use an amp probe.
110 volts was chosen to make light bulbs practical and economically competitive with gas lighting. Edison selected 100 volts as a compromise between distribution costs and lamp costs. Generation was maintained at 110 volts to allow for a voltage drop between generator and lamp.[1]
Yes, lamp cord is rated in the 300 volt wire classification. This means that the cord is approved for use up to a maximum of 300 volts.
No, it is not safe. The lamp is rated for a certain voltage, 125 volts, and supplying 240 volts to it would exceed design safety margins. It is not just a case of changing the bulb. It would be a different story if the lamp itself were rated for 240 volts, but that's not what the question said.
Mercury lamps typically operate at voltages ranging from 100 volts to 600 volts, depending on the specific type and size of the lamp. The exact operating voltage required will be specified by the manufacturer in the lamp's technical specifications. It is essential to follow the manufacturer's guidelines to ensure safe and optimal performance of the mercury lamp.

The operating voltage of a mercury lamp typically ranges from 100 to 300 volts, depending on the specific type and size of the lamp.
The resistance of a lamp operating at 115 volts and using 0.25 amp of current is 460. The relationship I used is Ohm's law.

The voltage isn't decided by the lamp, but by the supply the lamp is hooked up to.
A George Nelson Bubble Lamp can be bought from lamp stores such as interioraddict and Iconm. They can also be bought from sites that specialize in design such as Modernica and MoMA Store.

6 Volts.
No, it is not safe. The lamp is rated for a certain voltage, 125 volts, and supplying 240 volts to it would exceed design safety margins. It is not just a case of changing the bulb. It would be a different story if the lamp itself were rated for 240 volts, but that's not what the question said.
Check the output of the alternator--should be 14.2 volts
the watts in the lamp and the volts behind the light
