You can get old stock, flashbulbs from here:

and a couple of other places I think. Though I didn't save their URLs
when I found them.
But these people seem to be manufacturing them...

Yes, Bill is right about the small, closely coupled flash. Love that
Weegee pic. I own both that camera and that flash. However, I'm down
to just five flashbulbs and am hesitant about firing them off. I think
they're now merely collectibles.

That would make sense - certainly the proximity of the flash to the

It's said so often that, to eliminate red eye, the flash has to be moved
further from the lens than the built-in flashes are. If the location
will
eliminate red eye, then it stands to reason that the look of the
flash in
the photo will be different. Back in the "old days" strobes were
mounted
what, six to eight inches from the lens, or maybe even more. In this
pic
of Weegee http://www.icp.org/weegee/ we can clearly see the
relationship
of the flash to the lens.

Like i said, it may be more than just the flash ... but I really don't
know much about flash since I've never used one. Many of
todays flash pics just look "different" to me somehow.
Today's flashes have smaller heads mounted closer to the lens.
The look is quite different.
