Description

A vintage box of twelve General Electric M3B "Power-Mite" flashbulbs. These miniature bulbs were a major advancement in the 1960s, allowing for smaller flash units on consumer cameras. The blue coating ensures proper color temperature when shooting with color film under flash conditions. The set includes the original retail box featuring period-accurate graphic design and a woman holding a contemporary camera.
