I think the only difference between AG1 and AG1B was the blue plastic
coating instead of clear glass. The AG was for "all glass" as they didn't
have a metal base like the bigger flashbulbs, just the little metal wires
sticking out of the formed glass of the base. Those AG1B's would work well
in my Minox flash gun...
