I do not know what bulb I need for this lamp. On my layout it's all LED's but this is for a display I am building.
The screw base is about 1/4" wide by about 1/2" tall. I am sure this is a simple one for this forum!!! Thanks

Dave, that looks like a K Line set. Let me look at the archives. I have purchased many over the years. Some had round white bulbs, some had frosted like this set and smaller like you have shown. They were all 14 volt bulbs. The LED's do not show as good as the bulb. You might contact Town and Country. They are the folks at York. They must have something new and cool. When the LED replacement bulbs first came out I purchased many and was unhappy. I am sure newer items with a good light pattern can be had.

I think what you want is a tear drop bulb. See Olsen's 452W.

I would bet that #430 bulbs are the intended bulb for use with that street lamp. They are readily available from your pre/postwar parts suppliers, forum sponsors, Amazon.com, eBay etc..

Thanks all......I got my digital calipers out....the base is 9.32 mm wide at the bottom....is that a E-10?? Thanks again!!
A 452W is a white gas lamp bulb. (I don't know how Olsen's labels their stuff)
A 1441 is a 12 volt tear drop bulb
A 1442 is an 18 volt tear drop bulb
A 432 is an 18 volt G-4 1/2 (large globe bulb)
And as Bmoran wrote a 430 is a 12 volt G 4 1/2 bulb.
Any of them will fit.
If the bulb has a "W" after the number, then it is white
If the bulb has an "F" after the number then it is frosted.
I have had some luck with Bulb Town finding older, oddball bulbs. Here is a link:
