3 individually packaged G.E. Mazda Photoflash lamps. The three light bulbs are numbered according to size: 11, 21, 31. The bulbs were for news, amateur, and professional photography. The cardboard packages contain exposure guide number charts and recommended examples re: film speed and shutter speed. Two bulbs are wire-filled and one is foil-filled. The foil lamp is stamped 1936 and one of the wire lamps gives a date range of 1928-46 for the patent on the design.
