Well, the Scandinavians might actually order them from CEF on Abbey St. They have a lovely little selection of vintage style bulbs with screw and twist end, in tinted or regular glass.

At once I am lost; they are speaking a different language, they are real grown up men who do things with Transmogrifiers... I just went in for a bulb. ...which I got, it was the best, most manly bulb they had.
