On Ebay they call them unused old stock. As far as I know there
is only one company in the world currently making flash bulbs.
There is/was supposed to be another one in China but I have
never found any information on them. Megaflash in Ireland does
not make FP rated bulbs as far as I know.
Now about that "unused" thing they are always saying on Ebay.
Maybe I could advertise, "Collector's special. Once used flash
bulbs? These flash bulbs were used only one time with a genuine
Speed Graphic in a real Graflite flashgun by a actual
photographer. Bid early and bid high, these will go fast to
serious collectors.
