Selection of Vintage Flashbulbs for Photography

I collected these flashbulbs over the past ten years for projects.

Some of the projects I did, and some I never got around to. Anyway, this is your chance to try them.

Obviously, you'll need to own a flashbulb gun, and to know what size bulbs it takes. You can find adapters for the smaller bulbs. I mostly used a Rolleiflash with a #5 or a #25 bulb.

Shooting with vintage flashbulbs is a great experience - it gives a unique look - they are light, easy to carry, and can produce a lot of light.

1) 92, rare, vintage, NEW/NOS 5R infrared flashbulbs. I've tested others from the same stock and they work great. Shoot infrared flash photography like Weegee. Please follow all normal safety precautions. Cardboard boxes are flaking in spots. SOLD

2) 96, rare, vintage, NEW/NOS 5R infrared flashbulbs SOLD

3) NOS Flashcubes 12 pack of 3 . These should work with most Instamatic type cameras. Photo-B $70

4) NOS Photo Flashbulbs 42 #11 Photo-G $100

5) NOS Photo Flashbulbs 27 #40 Photo-J $80

6) NOS Photo Flashbulbs 67 #40 Photo-M $125

7) NOS Photo Flashbulbs M2, M3, M2B, M3B and More Photo-P $250

CONUS shipping additional depending on your zip code.

Good luck. I have tried several times to sell old flashbulbs at a very low price per bulb (6 P25B for $5, p;lus actual cost of shipping) ad on Photrio), and been totally unsuccessful.

Well, I see you have managed to sell two batches, about 100 bulbs in each batch. Congratulations! I am curious, inclusive of shipping cost, what would be the price-per-bulb that folks were willing to pay?!
Not that one can interpret anything by the sale of these two batches, other than someone's specialized desire to have IR-capable flashbulbs (no non-IR bulbs have been sold, as I have experienced myself)
