Lots of options here: http://www.bulbtown.com/Intermediate_Scr..._s/312.htm
According to Wikipedia, assuming it's correct, a an E17 is the same base as a C9 Christmas bulb, it's 17 mm in diameter. The night light style candelabra bulbs are a C7 or E12 which is 12 mm in diameter, the same base used for 120 volt Christmas lights.

Here is a site on old fashioned Christmas lights of the series string variety which used C6 bulbs. Very interesting evn though I'm not a light bulb collector.
