I have a few of both types. One string of the Silvestri 70s/80s-produced smaller ones that run on a typical smaller-socket light string (box looks like old K-Mart style printing). You can find them on ebay sometimes relatively inexpensively. These are a spherical holder that the glass vial slides into, and an opening that slides over the smaller incandescent bulbs on a typical light string.
Then I have 9 of the older Noma style screw-in replacement bulbs made in the 90s for Builders Square, 3 each of blue, red, and green. The 'festoon' part on those is simply clear plastic, not the more colorful flying saucer shape vintage stuff.
