Retro style light bulb source

[cm]

I just bought a big pile of 1930's light fixtures to install in my home. I would like to use vintage looking light bulbs. Anyone got a source?

I found a few sources but they are $12+ each for 60 watt. Anyone got a cheaper source?

Here's one that I know of:

They're a bit pricey but an excellent source. I have bought from them several times.

Yes, I like them too - they were the only source I could find for the T-shaped latch striker plates for the interior doors of my house. Some of them had gone missing over the years, and I didn't want to have to chisel out the door jambs for the ugly new style.

For the OP's situation, I'd be tempted just to use non-frosted modern bulbs, but if you're really going for "the look"...

Thanks guys. That's a great site which I bookmarked. I will have to wait on the bulbs. I would need 9 of them and that is too much right now. I did go with non frosted. My 1930's fixtures look great.
