Our local vintage lighting store, in business since 1913, is closing. Everything is on clearance and has been picked over pretty hard but they have several cases of New Old Stock GE Glow Bright C7 Christmas bulbs.
I have no need for them and know very little about them value-wise but I know several here on AW.org use these bulbs. If anybody wants them, I can front the money to buy them and ship them to you, you can reimburse me through paypal or money order. The owner said he would sell them for $0.40 per carton - 4 bulbs per carton or $0.10 per bulb. There are 240 bulbs per case so that comes to $24.00 per case. I bet I could get a discount if I bought a bunch of them. I didn't get a count of how many cases are available in each color. I don't know how old the bulbs are but the packaging looks like the Glow Bright packages in the picture below.
Send me a message if you want any of these bulbs.

OOH! OOH, I would like to buy 4 blue bulbs and will pay you handsomely for the trouble and the shipping. Thank you very much for announcing this sale, even though it is sad to hear of such a wonderful place closing. |

I have several packages of the GE bulbs in both C-7 & C-9 that are in packaging like that. I think I bought them sometime in the mid or late 80's. They are US made. |

OK, looks like I need to go claim 2 cases of mix and match: one red yellow blue and green and another of red blue green and white. Plus some blue bulbs for Tom (you don't have to pay me handsomely, just what I spend. I'm already handsome ). I didn't look at all of the colors so I don't know if they have all of them. I'll get back with everyone, I won't get back there until Wednesday.
Anyone else? |

i would be interested in some of these bulbs too.
i would like all of the colors (blue, red, green) especially if they have these colors: yellow white orange please get back to me & let me know if they have the; yellow white orange or what colors they have. i think that would work out to like 10 cartons of each color, if they have the 6 colors and 4 bulbs per carton. right?? thank you so much for the heads up & the kind offer. i look forward to hearing from you real soon. |

Thank you for the kind offer for the GE light strings!! But not to worry, I have LOTS in my stash of Christmas goodies (which look like a drop in the ocean compared to your collection!). I have managed to amass 3 of the 25-light strings, 5 of the 15-light, and 4 of the 7-light; they all have that 'last socket connector' that I always thought was a great idea, too. Thank you again for the generous offer, though!! |

David, by any chance do they have any of the C-6 series type bulbs (in any colors). I would like 4 or 5 packages if they do. |

I went to the shop today and bought all of their C-7 bulbs. They only had blue, green, and very few red bulbs available. They had no C-6 bulbs but I did buy the C-9 bulbs they had as well - they are actually C-9 1/4, I don't know what the "1/4" means. They also had some C-7 1/2 bulbs. All of these boxes are dusty, I'll knock some off but I'm not going to make too much effort
Here are the quantities of each color:
C-7
1 carton = 4 bulbs; 1 case = 60 cartons or 240 bulbs. Cost is $.10 per bulb, or $0.40 per carton of four, or $24.00 per case of 240 bulbs + shipping.
Blue: 6 cases plus 42 cartons plus 3 bulbs Green: 6 cases plus 2 cartons plus 2 bulbs Red: 54 cartons plus 2 bulbs - I will divide most these among the people who asked for mix and match cases.
C-7 1/2
1 case = 25 cartons or 100 bulbs. Cost is the same per bulb and carton as the C-7 bulbs. A case would be $10.00 plus shipping.
Clear red: 2 cases plus 15 cartons Clear blue: 2 cartons
C-9 1/4
1 case = 25 cartons of four, or 100 bulbs. Same cost as C-7 1/2 bulbs.
Green: 1 case plus 21 cartons
Here are the orders I have so far, please check for accuracy and let me know of any changes - please send your zipcode when you reply so I can calculate shipping costs:
D-Jones: 1 case mix and match
Tomturbomatic: 3 cartons blue and one of green and one of red.
Turquoisedude: 1 case mix and match
Supersuds: 2 cartons each of red and green
Hippiedoll: 10 cartons each red, blue, green
Norgeway: 1 case each color
Firedome: 3 cartons red, blue, green

If you wish to pay by paypal, my e-mail address is limited58@gt.rr.com; you can use the "send money to friends and family" method, that way paypal won't charge any fees. Since I'm not marking these bulbs up I think that is fair. If you wish to send a check or money order, I can send my address via personal message or e-mail.
I need your address to calculate shipping costs. |

I only have the three cartons of red that I set aside for you earlier, but I have plenty of blue and green. I'll box them all up and get you a quote.

I checked my main server, none of your e-mails are in my inbox or spam folder, don't know what happened to them but I haven't received them. Post your zipcode here, that is all I need for a quote, then you can send your address through paypal when you pay. I'll post your totals here and you can pay me via paypal's "send money to friends and family" using my e-mail address: limited58@gt.rr.com
Ain't technology grand? Not the first time I've had this happen, haven't figured out why. |

Blue C7 - four cases plus 36 cartons of 4 bulbs
Green C7 - three cases plus 73 cartons of 4 bulbs
Clear red C7 1/2 - two cases of 100 plus 15 cartons of 4 bulbs
I am listing these on ebay one case at a time for much more than I'm selling them to AW members. If anyone wants any let me know ASAP and I'll save some for you at the prices quoted above. |

I had to share that I got my order last week and these bulbs are just amazing! I was flooded with memories of the annual bulb replacement shopping trip I did every year with my father as soon they appeared on the shelves of the Canadian Tire store near where I grew up. We saved up our Canadian Tire 'money' during the year for these purchases.
David, thank you again for letting us know about these bulbs! |
