That's an interesting collection! Several I've not seen before.

Does anyone remember the little squat MES bulbs that had a lens blown into the glass at the top, for use in the Penlight-type torches powered by a couple of 1.5V HP7 batteries? I think I've still got such a torch somewhere, I used to use it when peering around in the back of equipment-racks to trace cables.
