Thanks for all the replies, guys. Of course, I am aware of eBay, as well as Pardee's Camera Store in Sacramento. In 2009, I purchased a Canon 40D camera and 17-40 "L" lens at Pardee's!
I am also aware of Meggaflash (http://www.meggaflash.com/), but don't have the time to order from Ireland.
Nils Huxtable, a friend from West Vancouver, BC is headed this way, arriving in about 10 days' time. While in town, Nils wants to try a few night shots. I've got several old Graflex flash guns in the garage, but my supply of bulbs is very low.
20+ years ago, I would visit local camera stores to inquire regarding the availability of new old stock (NOS) flash bulbs. Alas, as several respondents indicated, most quality camera stores have evaporated. Those that remain have long since sold-off their NOS flash bulbs.
By posting my query, I was hoping to connect with someone in the Sacramento / Stockton area who might have some old flash bulbs in their garage or attic with which they were willing to part.
This weekend, I'll be working in Los Angeles. I could pick-up bulbs in the LA area if any are available there. Thanks again.
