$1.00 each. Have to see if they are new or used when I put them in the fixture.  Modern date coding.....

These, as the  Duro Test Optima 50s will NOT light on rapid start unless I manually preheat with a 12 volt battery. It appears 2 are never used and 2 slightly used. The are NOT nearly as bright as the GE SPX-30s I have.  The GE lamps will start, though a bit slow on the fixture.

Thanks for sharing your restore finds, I go to various restores every week here in southern california, you never know what to find! Vintage incandescent, mercury and fluorescent lamps and fixtures are my specialty.

Silverliner, when I go to the ReStore nearest me, finding good stuff is VERY rare.
