You can purchase reproduction lightbulbs from a variety of time periods from
AAMSCO Lighting Inc., 15-17 Brook Street, Jersey City, NJ 07302  telephone
(201)434-0722.

The last order we placed was for a case of 24 ca. 1900 Edison Carbon Lamps
- they were $8.98 (US) each.

They have several models and styles so call them to get a price list.

Hope that helps.
