Hello. I found a box of working bulbs, there about 20 of them. I have found little information on them and was wondering if anyone knew a possible value.

I have a number of different bulbs, but I have never come across the varigam before. As for the value, I suggest you try eBay or the usual internet searches.

Welcome to Photrio,
It looks to me like someone has re-used an old Varigram paper box to store a bunch of bulbs. I don't recognize the type of bulb. Sometimes there is some (usually hard to read) text enscribed on the base of bulbs that assists with identification, Do you see anything like that?

I checked the bulbs and do not see anything printed on them at all

As said above those lamps have nothing to do with Du Pont. "Varigam" was a photographic paper. This also is indicated on that box.

Those lamps are american neon lamps, for use directly on the mains.
