Bulbs with exhaust tip on top. Wire is soldered direct to the base; I cannot see any markings. Of course due to the cord's condition it is completely useless, but someone has wrapped each lamp in red and green crèpe paper imitating a flower and kept together with black cotton.

Box with replacement bulbs, different colors. They all came with the box, but I think some are additions.
The box is marked "50 Stück Spitzkerzenlampen mit ?????? 14V5W ????? Made in GDR".

A few markings on the bulbs:

Aluminum base: colored aluminum base "14V5W" - clear glass aluminim base "14V3W 87"

Brass base: all same model and difference in markings probably regarding color: uncolored yellow base "MF14V5W BIV/4" (no picutre) - yellow brass base "D 14V5W BIII/76" and "MF 14V5W BIV/4" - green brass base "MF 14V5W BII/4"
