Flash Bulbs

When I was a kid, I used my dad's childhood camera. I took a lot of pictures, and I must have inherited my dad's eye, because I would take artsy pictures of fallen leaves (rearranged for better effect, of course) and brick walls. The camera was a lot like the one above from noodleandlouvintage. It had these great flash bulbs that would rotate when you used each side. I still have the camera and some flash bulbs. Somewhere.

And that's the problem. After I arranged a glass hurricane with a bunch of old lightbulbs, I thought it would be great to add some of the old flash bulbs to the mix. And I can't find the camera. I know I still have it somewhere, because I never throw anything away, and I definitely wouldn't throw away a family heirloom like this camera. So while I'm turning the house upsidedown to find the camera and bulbs, I thought I'd share some I found on Etsy, and maybe I'll earn enough karma to find mine.

Blue flash bulbs from ethanollie. Sky blue bulbs from LilThriftyGirl. I get such a kick out of the colors of these flash bulbs I found at oldthings.

Nice styling of flashbulbs at possumgully (so nice they've already sold).

This lot of flash bulbs is already reserved, but I had to include them because twoartdirectors does such a good job of photographing their items.

Let's hope this sheds some light on the matter of where mine have gone...
