Don't know if I mentioned this before, but Walgreen Drugs sells really awesome bulbs that are almost identical to the cage filament bulbs sold 90 years ago. They have the cage filament and the pear shape. There's a nub at the top, but no evacuation tip. However, from a short ways away, the bulbs look very authentic. They cost about $7 a piece, but that's less than what people charge for them on the internet. I don't know if Walgreen has them for sale everywhere, but they're for sale in my area, and are made by Feit Electric.

Those look really nice, we have 2 Walgreens now in Asheville, where there were none up until about 2 years ago. Will have to look for them. I also like the 11 watt industrial bulbs of the same shape (no tip) and use them for nightlights.
